rod03801: I totally agree on a steep penalty IF a person kills a frog once the game play is on. Youre right is avoidable once the first moves are made. I just find it so unfair that you have no choice but to guess at one hopeful vacant spot and when you kill a frog you have pretty much NO chance of winning that game unless your opponent has no clue how to play or you get super lucky and get all 5 before they get the 3rd
