Army of Frogs

Army of Frogs

2007·John Yianni

2 - 4 players
45 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

Description from BoardgameNews.com: Army of Frogs is for 2-4 players and resembles Hive in that the gameboard is created while you play. The goal of the game is to create one large group of frogs-an army, if you will-through tactical manoeuvring and placement of the pieces, which are hexagonal Bakelite frogs. Each player starts with two randomly drawn frogs, and on a turn a player takes the following three actions to build and shift an island of frogs in the center of the table: if possible, move a frog of his color that's on the board to a new location (something that's obviously skipped on the first turn) add one of the frogs in his supply to the board, and draw a new frog from the bag and add it to his supply. The first player to link all their frogs (with at least seven in play) wins the game.
