Abstract Strategy. Literal Lilypads. Royal Rivalry. Frogs, spiders, and dragonflies battle for control of an ancient tree stump at the heart of the pond. Knights of the Pond Table is a clever, family-friendly abstract strategy game for 2 to 4 players that combines timeless mechanics with unexpected twists. Inspired by classics like chess and checkers, each creature moves in its own unique way. The board offers multiple win conditions, hidden point values, and a deck of action cards that can shift the tide faster than a frog catches a fly. Easy to teach. Surprisingly deep. A game for thinkers, families, and anyone who likes a little mischief in their monarchy. —description from the designer
