Dampfross 2 (1985)

About this game

Dampfross 2 is a standalone game using the same rules as Dampfross, but with 4 new maps: Southern Italy, Northern Italy, Switzerland and Austria. Dampfross 2 also provides a Laubfroschvariante; a 'leapfrog variant'. Players can now jump up to 3 spaces after their network has been attached to an opposing network. Each player is allowed 8 jumps per game and must pay for them accordingly. Contents: 4 boards, 2 dice, 6 markers, 6 blocks.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
