Cosmic Frog is a game of collection, combat and theft on a planetary scale. You play a two-mile-tall, immortal, invulnerable frog whose only purpose is to harvest terrain from the Shards of Aeth, the broken pieces of a shattered world. Your frog lands on a Shard, scoops up land and stores it in its enormous gullet. Once the gullet is full, you leap into the Aether, disgorge your haul into an inter-dimensional vault for safekeeping and hop back for more. All the while your rival frogs are doing exactly the same, and they are not above shoving, fighting and stealing. A big-box, dice-flinging brawl for two to six, around ninety minutes, aimed at ages thirteen and up.

Who it's for

You like confrontational games with a ridiculous theme and a lot of table talk, something like a giant-frog cousin of a take-that skirmish game.

Not for you if…

You want peaceful building with no one messing with your plans. Here everyone is allowed to steal from you.

Vibe's take

Silly premise, real brawl. You are greedy, you gulp and you leap, while rival frogs shove you around, steal what you carry and make every trip back to the vault a gamble.
