About the game
The frogs meet at the water lily pond on a nice summer evening to perform their daily croak-concert. When the frogs have croaked, they say good-bye and jump into the water. Whose frogs have disappeared first? The players try to get rid of the frogs first by rolling the dice. If you roll blue, you are lucky: put a frog in the water. If you have another color, you have to put the frog on a water flower and maybe, you can get the frog back. Short game that's fun for children and adults.
Questions and answers
Quak supports 2–4 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 Quak 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 Quak for ages 4 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.
Quak 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.
