Froschkonzert

CATCH YOUR FLY FAST!

Players are frogs looking for a path across the pond; to cross the pond they use water lilies to jump on and also to get back after catching a fly at the other side. If you manage to be the first to be back you win.

The board is laid out the water-lilies are placed face down and there is only water in the pond. The frogs begin on their starting positions; their flies are sitting on spots exactly opposite. In your turn you roll the die: If you roll the symbol for water lily you may relocate one of the water lily tiles and turn it over to show the water lily. In case you must move a tile already showing a water lily you turn it back over to show water again. If you roll 1 or 2 dots you may jump once or twice on to an adjacent water lily. A frog can never jump over open water or end his jump in water. There is room for more than one frog on a water lily. If you roll the symbol for frog concert you have earned a double move – you may relocate a water lily and then jump. But – if you play in a threesome or a foursome – before you can execute this double move you must don the frog mask and guess which of your fellow players has croaked like a frog. If you guess correctly you make your moves, otherwise your turn ends. You must reach your fly with an exact move and must reach the starting position also with an exact roll of the die.

Froschkonzert is a very nice and simple game, children can play alone, but it works also very well as a family game. The art gives the game a nostalgic touch and is made in painstaking detail, even the back of the board has been given a pattern of colored flies.
