Pond

Players command one of four asymmetric frog factions and maneuver meeples across a shared pond board. The core mechanic is deck-building: recruit from a pool of over 50 themed cards to expand a personal deck and acquire hero frogs that grant ongoing abilities. Cards are played to deploy, move, and engage with frog meeples, creating area-control contests as factions vie for territory and objectives. The game supports 2–4 players and emphasizes engine-building through card synergies and faction powers.
