The FroGames card
Play a card. Your partner nods. Or hesitates. You don't know if they understood your rule or if they're winging it. The map grows, the deck empties. Every card you place is a sentence you cannot speak.
WHAT IT IS
A cooperative puzzle where you only speak by placing cards
Designed by Jay Cormier and Sen-Foong Lim (authors of MIND MGMT and the first Corps of Discovery), this stand-alone for 2 players condenses the parent game's deduction system into a tense and silent game. Set in the universe of Manifest Destiny, the comic book by Chris Dingess and Matthew Roberts that reimagines the Lewis and Clark expedition with monsters and horrors, Duo puts you at the table as cartographers who must communicate without speaking.
Build a map by placing terrain tiles. Each type of terrain follows precise logical rules: some you both know, others only you. The only way to make your partner understand your secret rules is to place cards that respect those logical rules. If your partner violates one of your rules, you can remove their card, but it costs cards from your deck. If you run out of cards before completing the map, you lose. If you manage to place at least one tile of each terrain and build the final fort following all the rules, you win.

There is no leader telling you what to do. Here you are forced to treat your partner as an extension of your cognitive processor.

FrogScore · FroGames editorial review · first read: based on the rules and official presentation, updated with the first gamesThe deduction components
What's on the table
Terrain tiles
Ten types of terrain (forests, hills, swamps...), each subject to specific placement rules. You place one per turn, building the map.
Hidden rules
Each player has secret rules behind their screen. You must make your partner understand them only through your placements, without saying a word.
Public rules
Three logical rules visible to both. Every card must respect them, but also the secret rules of your partner that you don't yet know.
The fort
When you have at least one tile of each terrain, you can play the fort. If all the cards on the map respect all the rules, you win. Otherwise you lose.
