Game of Leap Frog

Each player is in control of four ‘frogs’. Starting side by side, one for each player on the numbered spaces of 1 thru 4, players begin. They take turns spinning the spinner that is numbered one thru eight and also shows outlines of frogs on each of its numbers. After spinning the arrow, the player can choose the number, at either end of the arrow, to move any one of his frogs on the board. This option allows a player to use a bit of strategy. He must choose which number and which frog is best to move.
