About the game
What you do in a play session
At the heart of the gameplay, you and your opponent take turns, playing frog cards from your hand to strategically move them across the lily pads that make up the playing area. But it's not just moving for the sake of it! Every move counts and can trigger important effects. By landing on flies, you replenish your hand with new cards, ensuring your strategic options never run out. By hopping onto an opposing frog, you score valuable points, bringing you closer to victory.
Beyond direct capture, BOG rewards long-term planning with two additional scoring methods: completing 'Frog Routes' and forming 'Frog Formations'. These mechanics add layers of complexity and require players to think several steps ahead, anticipating opponent moves and optimizing the positioning of their own frogs. Managing your hand of cards is crucial, as every card played is a decision that can change the tide of the game. The player with the most points at the end of the game is crowned the king or queen of the bog!
