== Overview ==

'''Greun'Z''' is a fully cooperative game for 1 to 4 players. Tonight the frogs give a concert, but the band is still stuck at the bottom of the pond and its instruments are lost among the star tokens. Together, bring '''every frog''' and '''the 3 instruments''' (drum, banjo and trumpet) onto the stage '''before the end of round 9'''.

Everybody wins or loses together: on a victory every player scores 1 point, on a defeat everybody scores 0. The frogs belong to the whole team: on your turn you may move any of them. Use the table chat to plan your moves together.

== Components ==

* '''The board''': the pond, the stage at the top, the bank all around and the time track on the left.
* '''Frogs''': one per player (two in solo). They start on the large lily pad at the bottom of the pond.
* '''13 lily pads''': 9 on the cells with a green dot, 4 in the reserve on the bank.
* '''4 star tokens''': the 3 instruments and a tin can, shuffled face down on the 4 star spaces.
* '''The time token''', on space 1 of the time track.
* '''2 dice''': the blue event die and the green move die.

== Setup ==

The game sets everything up. Before the first round, the team '''prepares the pond''': the event die is rolled twice and both effects are applied. If both rolls show the snail, the team adds 1 lily pad from the reserve on a free cell of its choice.

== Playing a turn ==

On your turn, roll both dice: click the dice in the bottom-right corner of the board, or '''Roll the dice''' in the action bar. The event die is resolved first, then you use the move die.

=== 1. Event die (blue) ===

The event is applied automatically.

* '''Snail''' (2 faces): each snail nibbles the lily pad on the water cell that shows its reflection, unless a frog sits on it. A nibbled lily pad stays in the pond and still drifts with winds and whirlpools, but players can no longer move it and frogs can no longer land on it. A lily pad can only be nibbled once.
* '''Whirlpool''' (2 faces): around each whirlpool, the lily pads on its ring of 6 cells turn one cell in the direction of the arrows, together with the frogs on them. The centre of the whirlpool does not move.
* '''West wind''' (red flowers): every lily pad drifts one cell to the right.
* '''East wind''' (blue flowers): every lily pad drifts one cell to the left.

A lily pad blocked by the bank, the central island or a star space does not move. A row of lily pads moves together unless the leading one is blocked.

=== 2. Move die (green) ===

* '''4, 5 or 6''': you get that many moves, for lily pads '''or''' for frogs. Your first move decides which.
* '''Special 6''' (2 faces): 6 moves, freely mixed between lily pads and frogs.
* '''Recycle 2''': take 2 lily pads from the pond and put them on any 2 free cells.

You may always use fewer moves: click '''End turn''' when you are done. '''Undo my moves''' cancels your moves and brings back the board as it was after your dice roll.

=== Moves ===

* '''Lily pad''': a lily pad without a frog and not nibbled moves one cell, onto a free neighbouring cell. One cell = one move.
* '''Frog''': a frog jumps onto a neighbouring lily pad that is not nibbled and has no frog. One jump = one move. Frogs cannot jump over each other.
* '''Starting lily pad''': it never moves and can hold several frogs. From it, frogs jump onto the 2 cells just in front of it.
* '''Stage''': frogs climb onto the stage from the 2 cells shown by the signs. Climbing onto the stage is a move.

Only lily pads without a frog and not nibbled can be recycled. A recycled lily pad may be put on a pink-ringed cell, but not on a star space.

== Stars and instruments ==

When a frog lands on a '''pink-ringed cell''' (by jumping, or carried by a wind or a whirlpool), the star token next to that cell is turned over, for free.

* An '''instrument''' goes onto the stage.
* The '''tin can''' is a false lead: it goes into the bin.

Revealing a token cannot be undone: '''Undo my moves''' only goes back to the moment the token was revealed.

== Time track ==

Once every player has played a turn, the time token moves forward one space. The game lasts 9 rounds: the small "3/9" mark under the time token shows the current round.

* '''Spaces 3 and 5''': the team adds 1 lily pad from the reserve on a free cell.
* '''Space 7''': choose either 1 lily pad from the reserve, or recycle 2 lily pads of the pond.

Hover over a space of the time track to see its bonus.

== End of the game ==

* '''Victory''': as soon as every frog '''and''' the 3 instruments are on the stage.
* '''Defeat''': round 9 ends before that.

== Solo ==

You play with 2 frogs and roll the dice twice per round (two full turns). The time token then moves forward and its bonus applies once.
