Editorial Review

How would you create a magic spell? You might need some unicorn horn or some eye of newt, or maybe some bats or toadstools or star and moon dust. But be forewarned as you're stirring up your potion--you'd better be wary of a black cat or the powerful All-Purpose Witch Wash! One of your opponents might even be brewing up an Uglifying Spell. ("Results guaranteed to crack mirrors at a single glance!") All of these magical ingredients are part of Frog Juice, an imaginative card game for two to four players that uses fairy-tale elements from fair maids to frogs to create a game that both kids and adults will enjoy. This game of strategy includes 44 ingredient cards and 15 power cards, each with an illustration that looks like it came straight out of a fairy-tale book. Cards are played in the center of the game and then captured by other players by matching numerical values or by using stronger powers. --Marcie Bovetz

5.0 out of 5 stars Very fun card game - my six year old boy loves it!, October 31, 1999

Collect ingredients like frog juice & monkey powder to complete spells. Use witch cards to "sweep" the discard pile unless someone else has the "witch wash" card. There are quite a few rules, but once we got the hang of it we played again & again. Game dynamics change dramatically when there are 3 or more players. Perfect for that before-bedtime window. I'm buying 6 sets for 1st grade birthday gifts.

My sister and I (both adults) buy interesting card games to play on the road or at home when we want to do something, but just don't want to spend hours playing other games. Frog Juice was surprisingly fun. It's a little bit like rummy. It takes about 20 minutes. For older players I reccomend combining 2 decks to keep things more interesting. Otherwise the spell ingredients get used up too quickly.

My family delights in a Frog Juice competition. We have found that this game can be played repeatedly, with strategy changing if you are playing with 2 or 3 players. You must determine when to play your spells, when to WITCH all the cards, and how to prevent your opponents from completing a spell. My youngest started playing at 5 but the older the better. My 11 year old and I have some tough games. Enjoy.
