PLAYED FOR YOU

HEY, FROGGY

Two yellow frogs on top

13 water lily pads are laid out in a circle and 12 frogs are randomly combined to four stacks with three frogs each and then those stacks are put on adjacent water lily pads. Next to the right-most frog - when looking into the circle from outside - you place the Pile O‘ Flies.

Each player chooses a color and places his marker on the race track; two fly markers are put fly-side up in front of each player. In your turn you name a color which is currently visible on at least one stack of frogs. If you have a fly marker still showing the fly side you can turn it over to the X side in order to use one or two additional dice; then you roll your available dice and move a frog in the color you named by one of the dice results. Empty water lily pads are not counted; when you reach the Pile O‘ Flies and still have steps left you go round the circle and start again at the start of the frog line. When your turn ends at the Pile O‘ Flies you move it to the next empty lily pad and can turn over your fly markers from X back to showing flies again; you can now use them again for additional dice. Should you, at the end of your turn, hold cards that correspond exactly to the arrangement of frogs visible on the top of stacks you discard the card or cards and move your marker on the race track by the number of cards you could discard. If you cannot do this you can discard cards from your hand and draw new ones. If you are first to reach the end of the track, you win!

Simple, cute and a little bit tactical; clever use of flies for a better choice of dice results can decide the game. Catching flies for the whole families!
