To win:
Frogs: to have the most frogs at their homeland by the end of the game. Could be a draw.
Rats: to wipe out the frog species (once each species has one or less counters left, the rats have won)
(Frogs cannot continue to breed unless they have 2 of their kind on their island).
Players: 3-5. 5 for the perfect game
Rules:
- Everyone begins on the starting island with 4 of their coloured counters each.
- Rats get 2 dice rolls and move this number of spaces, but each rat can only move a minimum of 3 places per turn. Rats get one more roll to try and get a chance card. If they roll a 1, they pick up the card and follow what it reads, if no 1 is rolled, the next player has their turn.
- Frogs get 1 dice roll and move this number of spaces. Each frog can only move a maximum of 4 places per turn, unless they manage to land on an island or rock, which allows then to move the full dice roll length. Frogs roll the dice again to try and get a chance card. Roll a 1 and they pick on up, if not, the next player has their turn
- Rats and frogs must take chance cards from their own species piles. These could be positive or negative things
- If a rat lands on the same space as a frog, the frog dies.
- A frog is safe once it is at it's home island.
- Rats cannot eat frogs until they are off the starting island.
- The first person who gets the most frogs back to their

Feedback:
- Cards should be frequent and both positive and negative, or infrequent and all positive
- The islands could be safe zones. But maybe if you spend too long on the island, the rats can eat you
