![]() ![]() ![]() When players are successfully attacked, they may lose land tiles from their gullet. Points are awarded for contiguous exposed tiles of the same terrain and land type as well as having a diverse assortment of land types in one’s vault. The tiles that end up in a player’s vault determine their final score. Harvesting and disgorging are both key to winning the game. In the outer dimension, all you can do is roll a die to attempt to return to Dimension Zero (shard + aether). If in the aether, frogs can attack, disgorge harvested tiles onto another player board (their vault), recover Oomph, or raid an opponent’s vault if they are in the outer dimensions. While on the shard, players can leap, attack, harvest land tiles to put on one of their player boards (their gullet), recover Oomph, and make a special move/attack called a slipstream. The neoprene mat and chunky pieces round out the experience nicely. Frogs can be on the shard, in the aether, or in the outer dimensions. Which actions are available depends on where your frog is located on the map. Actions include attacking, leaping/landing (movement), harvesting tiles, disgorging tiles, raiding your opponent’s vault, and recovering your Oomph. On a player’s turn, they must take an action and can also pay Oomph to take an extra action. Those are the Aether Flux and the Splinter Strike cards. That same deck also contains two special cards that affect the game pretty significantly. Every player will have the same number of turns each round, but the order in which those turns take place will be random. After setting up the shard (placing tiles on the map), play begins by turning over the top action card of the deck. The gameplay in Cosmic Frog takes place over a number of rounds, randomly determined based on specific tiles that get destroyed throughout the game. Watch your slimy back.Ĭosmic Frog is a set collection and combat game for two to six players. Nothing you collect is necessarily yours to keep and one to five other frogs are trying to have a more valuable collection of lands than you. You are now entering a dark and trippy dimension filled with gargantuan leaps and behemoth frog fights. I’ll refrain from using too many of those terms for my review, but you should know that’s what you’re getting into with the theme. Those are some of the terms used throughout a game of Cosmic Frog. You are a two-mile tall invulnerable reyna (frog) sent by the First Ones (gods) to harvest terrain from the Shards to rebuild Aeth. ![]()
