Flip Over Frog

The flippin' frogs are coming! Help your brightly coloured frogs take control of your little corner of the rainforest!

Cleverly place frogs on the game board to flip adjacent tiles, hiding some frogs and revealing others. Each player is given a secret Frog Token at the beginning of the game, determining what colour frogs they are trying to get on to the board. After dealing three tiles to each player, the game begins. Tiles can be placed on any empty space on the 4x4 board, or on the back of any face down tile. Frogs may NOT be placed on top of face up tiles.

When placed, the arrows on the tile which surround the frog tell the player which nearby tiles should be flipped. If a tile is stacked on another, both tiles are flipped together. Only the newly placed tile causes other tiles to flip.

Also included are four Snake Tiles which remove any one face up Frog Tile from the game. Both the Frog and Snake are discarded, freeing up a space for a new tile to be played.

Players keep playing a tile and drawing back up to a hand of three until either no more tiles can be played or the board has sixteen face up frogs on show. This triggers the end of the game, and the player with the most frogs face up is the winner.

Plan ahead, watch out for snakes, and flip your way to victory!

Pass the Pigs: Pig Party Edition

Pass the Pigs, in which players roll pig-shaped dice to score points, included one pair of pig dice. Deluxe Pass the Pigs doubled the swine count, with two pairs of pigs for head-to-head competition. Now Pass the Pigs: Pig Party Edition has brought home the bacon, doubling the pig count yet again with four pairs of pigs (pink, black, brown, tan) included in the box.

Game play is reminiscent of Pass The Pigs, but with more pigs and more scoring opportunities. Players try to win cards that display a specific goal (pigs in a particular orientation) and a point value. The game includes bonus cards, including a chance to roll all eight pigs at once. Sooooooo-eeeee!

Pass the Pigs: Pig Party Edition comes with a black, zip-up case to hold the game components.

Ecos: First Continent

What if the formation of Earth had gone differently?

In Ecos: First Continent, players are forces of nature molding the planet, but with competing visions of its grandeur. You have the chance to create a part of the world, similar but different to the one we know. Which landscapes, habitats, and species thrive will be up to you.

Gameplay in Ecos is simultaneous. Each round, one player reveals element tokens from the element bag, giving all players the opportunity to complete a card from their tableau and shape the continent to their own purpose. Elements that cannot be used can be converted into energy cubes or additional cards in hand or they can be added to your tableau to give you greater options as the game evolves.

Mountain ranges, jungle, rivers, seas, islands and savanna, each with their own fauna, all lie within the scope of the players' options.
