The Frog Game, Sapo, La Rana and La Grenouille
The Frog Game, also known as Sapo (Portugal & South America), La Rana (Spain, Basque Country & Catalonia) or La Grenouille (France). A traditional pub style game that is still played in bars and cafes in certain part of Europe and South America. The aim of the game is to toss your disks or coins into the holes (including the frogs mouth) in order to score the corresponding points. The Frog Game varies region to region with differing styles, layouts and number of holes. Some versions only have one Frog in the centre to score points from, the toughest shot of all. Here we have a range of Frog Games, hand-made in Spain by expert craftsmen.
