About the game
A giveaway at SPIEL 2017. The green Frogrider is an especially talented choreographer and possesses a multitude of talents. This is why there are three possibilities of how you can use him in the game. If you want to play with the green frog, just put one of the brown frogs back into the box before you set up the game and use the green frog instead. Rule from the community: Other frogs cannot jump over the green frog. The green frog may jump into any direction without needing any of the privilege cards. Rule from the editors: Whoever jumps over the green frog, instantly gains 5 points. The frog cannot be returned to the village. Rule from the designer: Whoever performs a jump with the green frog, may use the ability of the frog that the green frog has jumped over, without returning a frog to the village.
