Lunar Laser Frogs is a board game released in 2023 for 3–8 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Andreas Preiss and its main mechanics are Real-Time, Pattern Recognition, and Speed Matching.
The laser-fast dice game for up to 8 players! Lunar Laser Frogs’ dice feature icons in three colors as well as blank faces. When it is your turn, you roll three times to cast all six dice. At the same time, and even before you are finished, each other player tosses one face down card onto a shared pile. The fastest opponent to play a particular color card will get one point per matching die. However, if you do not roll a particular color at all, it will be “lasered” onto every die and suddenly be worth six points. —description from the publisher
Lunar Laser Frogs supports 3–8 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 Lunar Laser Frogs 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 Lunar Laser Frogs 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.
