From BoardGameGeek

Perilous Pond is a game about rolling dice and trying to make the best out of the final result. Doing this is a bit of a spatial puzzle, moving your frog into a position with lots of options for future turns while still keeping safe from the pike. The game is suitable for everyone, a simple and fun mechanic kids easily master and a depth of strategy that gives the game another dimension. The pond is not a static playing field. As you and your opponents move your frogs around, chasing fireflies, the pond will change. As a frog hops across the pond the lily pads, they will first be submerged and if pushed off of once more sink completely. This makes the pond harder and harder to navigate as the game progresses.
