About the game
Hungry frogs are flippin' aross the swamp trying to gobble up the most bugs. But those buzzin' bugs just won't stay put! Using your flippin' skills, and a little luck, you'll need to snatch the next meal before another frog hops along and ruins lunch. FrogFlip is a 12-card microgame in which players take turns flipping a Frog Disc towards one of four Lily Pad Cards that are spaced evenly across the playing area between two-players. The target Lily Pad Card is determined by the top card in a stack of score cards depicting 1 to 4 bugs. The number of bugs depicted on the top card of the stack represents which Lily Pad Card to aim for (counting that many cards from the active player's side of the table) and the number of points scored if the Frog Disc makes any contact with the target Lily Pad Card. Players keep taking turns flipping the Frog Disc until all of the Bug Score Cards are claimed or one player collects five Bug Score Cards. Two sets of FrogFlip can be combined for a four-player game.

Questions and answers
FrogFlip supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for FrogFlip is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists FrogFlip for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
FrogFlip has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
