Bullfrogs
Frogs battle and hop between lily pads in this abstract area-control game. Players command rival amphibian factions, adding warriors to contested pads and trying to dominate them. When a pad becomes overloaded, it sinks, scattering its frogs to neighboring pads and causing the remaining pads to drift. Each move changes the balance of the pond, requiring players to consider both immediate victories and their wider impact.

Evan3.5 This is an interesting majorities game, where players add a card to the map, and then can use a number of action points as printed on the card to either place or displace frog tokens along the row or column the card was placed into. Each map card has a set number of spaces to hold frogs, and when a card is full, it's removed and a certain number of frogs starting with your opponent get to escape to neighboring cards. This can create chain reactions where multiple cards might score through escape movements. There's a relatively short playtime which is nice. There's enough to think about on your turn, so I was happy with the depth. It's a little chaotic with four players, so it's probably better with 2 or 3? I would play again, but I'm not planning to buy this for myself. :star: Art, Iconography and components functional :star: Clever or interesting mechanisms :star: Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players :nostar: Multiple plays stay interesting :star: Low or mitigatable luck elements :star::nostar::nostar::nostar::nostar: Raw enjoyment
