Flip Over Frog

This hidden-information tile game has players place frogs, flip adjacent tiles, and reveal their secret color across a rainforest grid. Stacking and snake tiles constantly change the board, so careful planning is needed to expose the most frogs.

Read the full game description

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!
