In Jounce, you re a frog bouncing around a pond, snacking on bugs, and trying to out-hop your friends and end the game with the prized water lily. Every turn, everyone will simultaneously play a movement card to leap to a new lily pad, but there s a catch—you can only jump in certain directions. Figuring out the best way to jounce from pad to pad can be challenging, and rewarding! Every time you land, you grab a bug. If you collect several of the same kind, you can use special abilities to get ahead, But collecting a variety of bugs will be worth more at the end of the game! The game ends when one type of bug is completely eaten, and whoever has the most points wins. It s a game of tricky jumps, clever planning, and a little bit of chaos. Sometimes you ll land exactly where you need to, and sometimes you ll get stuck in a spot that makes you rethink everything. Either way, it s all part of the fun—just don t let the other frogs eat all the good bugs before you get there! —description from the publisher
