About the game
From the manufacturer: Old King Toad is a hungry old soul! In this tongue-twisting card game, add bugs to the king's feast by playing cards in numerical order. If you don't have the next card in sequence, catch one just like King Toad! Say "Ribbit" and then stick out your tongue from one to four times to signal the card you want played. The first player out of cards gets to be King Toad for a day! For ages 5 and up. Comes with 60 cards and 12 tokens. Rules are in English and Spanish.

Questions and answers
King Toad supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for King Toad 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 King Toad for ages 5 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.
King Toad 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.
King Toad belongs to these categories: Card Game, Fantasy, and Humor. Categories describe the theme, setting and style of a game rather than its rules. Filter the catalogue by the same category to find similar games when you enjoyed King Toad and want something comparable for your next game night.
The credited designers of King Toad are: Brian S. Spence, Garrett J. Donner, and Michael S. Steer.
