A classic maneuver strategy game akin to checkers. RIBBIT is a two player game with one player taking the red pieces and the other the blue pieces. Each player has 5 pieces (wooden meeples) and 3 blockers (wooden disks). A player wins by exiting his pieces (meeples) and scoring points. The player who scores best out of 11 points (6 or more) wins the game. During a player's turn they get two actions. There are 5 possible actions a player can take. They are: 1. Move a piece (meeple) 2. Enter a piece (enter a Meeple from your Stock) 3. Exit a piece (exit meeple to score points) 4. Place a blocker (disk that blocks meeple into a space) 5.
