Editorial Review
How would you create a magic spell? You might need some unicorn horn or some eye of newt, or maybe some bats or toadstools or star and moon dust. But be forewarned as you're stirring up your potion--you'd better be wary of a black cat or the powerful All-Purpose Witch Wash! One of your opponents might even be brewing up an Uglifying Spell. ("Results guaranteed to crack mirrors at a single glance!") All of these magical ingredients are part of Frog Juice, an imaginative card game for two to four players that uses fairy-tale elements from fair maids to frogs to create a game that both kids and adults will enjoy. This game of strategy includes 44 ingredient cards and 15 power cards, each with an illustration that looks like it came straight out of a fairy-tale book. Cards are played in the center of the game and then captured by other players by matching numerical values or by using stronger powers. --Marcie Bovetz

Gamewright Wins Again!
First of all, I love Gamewright games, maybe not all of them, but the majority. I own several different ones and this is among my favorites.

I originally bought this to play with my nephew (age 9 when I purchased it) on rainy days. However, I think I as an adult enjoyed it more than he did! I chalk this up to the fact that I had to help him throughout the game (and this kid is very smart) because of all the varied rules.

Which brings me to my only complaint, it's almost like they have packed way too much into one card game. There are 3 ways to build one pile, only 1 way to build the other pile, you can play different cards to have different effects, and you have to collect the right cards to make your potion, etc. The game could have been just as much fun with a few less things and in a few places the rules a bit more detailed.

I recommend the game for kids 10+ not the 8+ as stated on the box.

Great Game
I've played this game as an adult, and with groups of fourth and fifth graders. Like most Gamewright games, it's tricky to get the hang of the directions. There are a few different steps, and various cards that mean different things, but once you've figured out what to do, the game is a breeze, and the kids loved it. It's great for reviewing math facts, too.

Loved it!
What a pleasant surprise! We received this game as an unexpected present, and we love it! Great game to play with my 10 year old son. It's a simple card game with a wizard / witch theme. Creative, the game has enough interesting rules to make for a lot of fun. I recommend it!
