Description

The frogs are getting ready to crown their king, and it's going to be a wild ride. In King Frog, 2 to 4 players jump into the action, trying to stay in the game and land on the right spot to claim the throne. This fast-paced game is all about strategic thinking, clever planning, and a bit of luck, making it an engaging experience for players of all ages. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be hopping into the fun in no time, thanks to the design efforts of Günter Burkhardt and Dennis Kirps, who brought this game to life in 2016. As players select cards from their hand to move their frogs around the pond, the excitement builds. With the ability to hop over other frogs in the way, lower cards get priority, adding a layer of strategy to the game. Landing on a lily pad of your color is a bonus, allowing you to keep your card for future moves. But beware, running out of cards means elimination, and the game can also end suddenly when the king frog hops over the last-place player, securing their victory. With a playtime of just 15 minutes, King Frog is the perfect game for a quick burst of fun, making it an excellent addition to any family game night or casual gathering.
