How to Play Cosmic Frog: Find Muck

Objective of the Game

In Cosmic Frog: Find Muck, players take on the roles of immortal, psionic frogs competing to collect and store valuable land tiles (muck lands) in their interdimensional gullets. The expansion introduces mental combat, a new chip-based system for resolving actions, and special muck lands that act as wildcards for vault scoring. The goal remains to score the most points by strategically harvesting, stealing, and depositing lands into your vault while outmaneuvering opponents.

Flow of the Game

The game follows the base Cosmic Frog structure but adds new mechanics:

• Mental Combat: Resolved using psionic attacks (brain icon), forcing opponents to purge gullet contents.
• Chip System: Optional replacement for dice in combat, raiding, and returning from the Outer Dimensions.
• AGGRO: A new action to force opponents to attack you physically.
• Muck Lands: Special tiles created when purged lands enter the Outer Dimensions.

Players alternate turns, using actions to attack, harvest, raid vaults, or manipulate the Outer Dimensions.

Actions and How to Play

Combat

Combat is now split into physical combat (Shard/Aether) and mental combat (psionic attacks). Key steps:

1. Declare attack type (physical or mental).
2. Chip-based resolution: Players place 5 face-down chips; opponents select 2 each to sum as combat scores.
3. Modifiers: Overpower (costs 2 W, +1 chip) or Boost (costs 1 W, +1 per boost).

Mental Combat

• Losing forces defender to purge X items from their gullet (X = combat score difference).
• Purged lands become muck lands in the Outer Dimensions.

AGGRO

Force a target to attack you physically unless they pay 2 W to ignore. Target must spend up to 2 W to reach you.

Outer Dimensions

Spend points from dice/chips to drift back or gather muck lands via raid attempts (X = 0 for dice, 1 for chips).

Tips to Win

• Use muck lands as wildcards: Score them as any land type in your vault to maximize combos.
• Control knockback: Use soft or thrown combat to manipulate positioning for raids or Outer Dimension access.
• AGGRO strategically: Force opponents to waste actions or resources attacking you.
