About the game
What you do in a play session
If you already enjoy the original Bullfrogs and have been wanting to play solo but didn't know how, the 'Bullfrogs: Solitaire Variant' expansion is here to solve your problem! This little gem transforms the 2-4 player strategy and area control game into a challenging solo experience, where you face the game itself. With new rules and two custom dice that add a touch of luck (and a bit of controlled chaos!), you'll have to think fast and use your action points wisely to overcome the challenges thrown at you by the opposing frogs.
The goal is to maintain the essence of the base game but adapted for a single player. You'll still be dealing with hand management, strategic positioning, and the pursuit of area majority, but now against a simulated opponent with its own tactics. The modularity of the board remains, ensuring that each game is unique and forces you to adapt your strategy. It's the perfect choice for those who want to relax playing a game they enjoy, but without needing company, or for those who want to hone their skills before facing other players. In 15 minutes, you'll have a complete game, ideal for those moments when time is short, but the desire to play is great. Get ready to jump into this new solo adventure!
