Game consists of 8 rounds, during which you swap a card from your player board with a card in the River (a common pool of cards that everyone draws from).

			Cards come in 4 colors and show 1 of 4 critters commonly found around a pond (frog, snail, dragonfly, fish). Each also either depicts a fixed card value or a variable value (such as 2 points per dragonfly or 4 points per orange card). You will always gain points for your fixed value cards. The value of the other cards is determined both by meeting the depicted condition AND the card's location on your board ~ some will score points for the cards on your own player board, and some will score points for the cards on other players' boards.

			You'll need to keep a close eye on what's happening around the table ~ What can you score on their board, and what are they trying to score from yours? Clever swapping and luck of the draw create an exciting tension.
