Water Lily

A tactical racing game has frogs pace their hops to finish in the most rewarding position. Moving too quickly or too slowly reduces the prize, so bluffing and timing decide the royal race.

From the Publisher: Princess Water Lily and her sisters are to be wed! Frogs from all the Kingdom have heard the news and want to take part in the Royal Race, because the winners will marry them and become Princes! But it's a tricky race: hopping forward too fast will get you only a few points, and arriving too late no points! Water Lily is a suspenseful short race game from acclaimed designer Dominique Ehrhard (Marrakech, MacGregor, Crazy Circus, Serenissima, Condottiere...), a blend of bluff, tactical moves and some luck.
