About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an epic amphibian battle in Bullfrogs! In this fast-paced and strategic game, you command an army of frogs in a fierce struggle for control of a lily pad-dotted swamp. Each round, players use action points to move their frogs, attempting to dominate the floating platforms and, perhaps, sink them under the weight of victory! The area influence mechanic is crucial here: whoever has the most frogs on a lily pad when it sinks secures the points. But beware! When a platform sinks, the frogs scatter to adjacent ones, shifting the balance of power and creating new opportunities (or disasters!). Managing your hand of cards is essential for planning your moves and anticipating opponents' tactics. With a modular board that ensures each game is unique, Bullfrogs offers a deep tactical experience in an accessible package, perfect for those seeking a strategic contest with a fun thematic twist and an agile pace. It's the kind of game that makes you think about the consequences of each leap, remembering that a single battle won might cost you the entire war.
