Frogs, spiders and dragonflies fight for an ancient tree stump in an abstract where every creature moves differently, points stay hidden, and action cards can flip the pond in one turn.

Who it's for

Players who like chess-adjacent movement puzzles served with charm, mischief and multiple win conditions.

Not for you if…

You want a pure abstract with full information, or dislike cards that can upend a carefully built position.

Vibe's take

Playful on the outside, genuinely pointy underneath – the hidden values keep you second-guessing the leader right up to the final capture.
