Army of Frogs strategy hints

Blue can get to an optimum position in four hops

There are many possible routes your Frog can take to victory. Take some time to work out the best move for your Frog. N.B. You are the blue player in all of these diagrams.

Connect your Frogs

If you find that one of your Frogs is unable to move to get to its froggy friends, then instead of waiting for someone to free it, try to extend the line from your other Frogs to join the stranded Frog.

Reconnect the island

Use the rules to your advantage. Remember that the only way to move a Frog which is the only link between two parts of the island is to move it to a position where it re-links the island. You may find that moving a Frog just this one space could work to your advantage.

Make life difficult for your opponents

If you keep picking your opponents' Frogs from the bag, this may not necessarily be a bad thing. If you can, add them in positions that stop your opponent from being able to add more of their own Frogs as in A: As players may only add Frogs of their own colour where they are not in contact with any of their existing Frogs, Green will be unable to add another Frog after this turn. Otherwise, try to add your opponents' Frogs where it is difficult for your opponent to link them to the rest of their Frogs (B).

Add Frogs where they can't be isolated

When adding Frogs of your own colour, try to position them where they are mostly surrounded by other Frogs. This makes it harder for your opponents to use the one island rule against you and leave your Frog unable to move.

Free your Frogs

Look for opportunities to add Frogs to places that could free otherwise trapped Frogs. If you add one of your opponents' Frogs where it touches their other Frogs, your opponent may be less likely to move it.
