Time on Frog Island was originally called Trading Time, and I can see why. I’m shipwrecked on an island, and the only way to fix my boat is to help out some giant frogs. Give a frog something it wants, it’ll give me something back. It’s all about trading up.
What those frogs want, and what they’ll give me for it, is often a puzzle. No one speaks in words on Frog Island, only in pictures. The pictures can be simple, an identifiable object shown in a word bubble. Or it can be a little trickier. A frog asking for a sunflower is easy to understand but another shows me a picture of a mug, then a snowflake, then points at the local pub. Clearly he wants a cold beverage, but I’m just a tiny sea captain—how can I make him a drink, and what will he give me for it?
