Abagio Awards & Reviews
Several great wrinkles (ah…...those beautiful wrinkles) make Abagio something quite special. …Designer April McCoy’s board is gorgeous…like a pond in a stained glass window. …There are ‘leaps’ and ‘heaps’ and ‘capping’ and ‘maxing’ …and plenty of opportunities to use your head in Abagio. …Before we know it, the game is over and we’re craving one more. The second time around shows us more strategic possibilities and we’re ‘toad’ally hooked. Abagio is, in a word, Frogalicious!â€? Full Review

- Parents’ Choice Approved Award
This is a great new educational game that is similar to backgammon, but a lot more fun. It will help your child to develop math skills, strategy and spatial thinking. The goal is to get your twelve frogs around the board and into the center pond before your opponent does. Leaping, heaping and racing to the safe zone, players try to outsmart their opponents using a variety of strategy options. This is a well designed game plus a great learning tool for the whole family to enjoy.�
