Army of Frogs - Info on John Yianni’s New Game

John Yianni has passed along some information about his new game, Army of Frogs, which will debut at Spiel 07. Army of Frogs is for 2-4 players and resembles Hive in that the gameboard is created while you play. The goal of the game is to create one large group of frogs—an army, if you will—through tactical maneuvering and placement of the pieces, which are hexagonal Bakelite frogs. Each player starts with two randomly drawn frogs, and on a turn a player takes the following three actions to build and shift an island of frogs in the center of the table: (1) if possible, move a frog of his color that’s on the board to a new location (something that’s obviously skipped on the first turn), (2) add one of the frogs in his supply to the board, and (3) draw a new frog from the bag and add it to his supply. The first player to create a group of seven or more frogs wins the game.

Yianni also mentioned that the Mosquito expansion piece for Hive should be available at Spiel, but the giveaway isn’t yet definite.
