From BoardGameGeek

Who will hop the farthest? 4 Hopper families are on vacation on tropical islands: the seals, the crabs, the octopuses and the frogs. They decide to have a race for fun. Who will be the fastest? Happy Hoppers is a fun family race with cute cubic sea animals, in which you will try to cross the finish-line the first and gather as much pearls (victory points) as you can. Each player has 3 Hoppers and a finish-line of their color that they are aiming to cross sooner than the other players cross theirs. As soon as any 5 Hoppers cross their finish lines, the game ends. A player's turn consists of two steps: Roll 3 dice Move the Hoppers according to the following rules The dice indicate, which Hopper (big, medium or small) move and how many times. Hoppers move clockwise. If a Hopper stops on an island with another Hopper, it jumps on top of it forming a stack. When a lower Hopper moves, it moves with all the Hoppers it has on top. As soon as a Hopper crosses their finish-line, they take a place on a central island, which will score them the more points, the sooner they did that. When a Hopper stops their movement, they receive a bonus from the island. -description from the publisher
