Pondscape
Pondscape on strateginen korttipeli 2–4 pelaajalle, joka kestää noin 30 minuuttia. Tässä pelissä pelaajat luovat oman eloisan lampensa asettamalla huolellisesti kortteja, joissa on erilaisia sammakkolajeja ja lampiympäristöjä, samalla keräten erilaisia hyönteislajeja.
Ydinmekanismit käsittävät ruudukon rakentamisen ja korttien hallinnan, ja lammen rakentamisen avaruudellisena palapelinä. Jokaisella kierroksella pelaajat valitsevat kortteja jaetusta näytöstä ja lisäävät yhden kortin lampeensa pyrkien täyttämään eri sammakkolajien asettamat ehdot pisteiden ansaitsemiseksi. Suuremmat saman sammakkolajin ryhmät tuottavat vielä suurempia palkintoja.
Ainutlaatuinen yhteinen mekanismi pyörii "hyppysammakon" ympärillä, keskeisen hahmon, joka metsästää hyönteisiä ja muuta ravintoa. Kaikki pelaajat vaikuttavat hyppysammakon toimiin ja kilpailevat kerätäkseen hyönteisiä, jotka voivat tuottaa bonuspisteitä loppupisteytyksessä. Huolellinen suunnittelu ja kekseliäs pelaaminen johtavat tasapainoisimpaan ja kukoistavimpaan lampeen!

Sääntöyhteenveto
OBJECTIVE
Achieve the highest score by creating an optimal pond of frogs and habitats in a grid over the course of 15 rounds.
GAMEPLAY
Each player builds their own grid consisting of a total of 15 cards. (3 rows of 5 cards each)
Gameplay
- Choose one card from the card display (the row of 3 face up frog/habitat cards) and put it in your hand.
- Move the jumping frog clockwise along the display according to the movement card above the chosen card. (0, 1 or 2 spaces)
- Play a card from your hand into your grid. Cards can be placed anywhere in the grid. Cards can be placed face down as a water card.
- Resolve any effect from the card.
Card Types and Effects
- Instant Effects: Icons next to a lightning bolt or on a leaf symbol on the bottom right of the card are resolved immediately when played.
- Jumping Frog Action: Allows you to move the jumping frog around the central food cards. The cards that the jumping frog is touching show which of the your food cards may then each have one card tucked under them from your hand.
- Water Cards: The symbols on the water card are shown on the top right corner of the face up side as a preview.
- Food symbols: The food types in the pond are on the top left of each card.
- Habitat Cards: These have a leaf in the top left of the card.
END OF GAME
The game ends once all players have placed 15 cards in their grid. In the event of a tie, the player with the most remaining hand cards wins.
SCORING
At the end of the game, points for the following conditions:
- Frog Clusters: For each group of frogs has its scoring condition met, score points based on the size of the cluster.
- Solitary Frogs: These frogs don't score in clusters. They have their own scoring conditions, based on their adjacent cards.
- Water Cards: The points are shown in a yellow circle on each card.
- Habitats: Grant points based on the number of unique habitat cards.
- Tucked Cards: Each tucked card grants 1 point for every matching food symbol visible throughout your entire pond.
FROG SCORING CRITERIA
Solitary Frogs (Desert Rain Frogs)
There are 18 of these cards which have individual conditions checked at the end of the game:
- Either 3 points per adjacent water card or for each water card in the same row.
- Either 3 points per adjacent habitat card or for each habitat card in the same row.
- Either 2 points for each adjacent unique food symbol or each adjacent frog card
Frog Clusters
