Description

Tap the Frog, based on the app of the same name, is a collection of games in which players bounce balls on the table and try to have them land in particular cells in a grid that lies in the bottom of the box.

• In "Froschball", players take turns bouncing a ball off the table while trying to have it land on frogs within the grid. If a ball doesn't land in the box after three tries, remove it from the game. Once all the balls are thrown, players score two points for each ball on a frog of the same color, 1 point for a ball on a frog of different color, 0 points for a ball on water, and -2 points for a ball on a pirate.

• "Solohüpfer" is a solo variant with the same scoring system in which the player tries to maximize his score.

• In "Bälle-Schubser", a ball doesn't score if it shares a grid space with a ball of a different color. Otherwise, scoring is identical to "Froschball" and the player with the most points after five rounds wins.

• In "Tic Tac Trio", players take turns bouncing balls into the grid — retrieving one ball from the grid first if all balls have been thrown — and the first player to place three in a row wins.

Tap the Frog has a double-sided pond, with one side having a single pirate and the other having two pirates and more water spaces.
