	Description Edit \| History

From the Publisher:
Princess Water Lily and her sisters are to be wed! Frogs from all the Kingdom have heard the news and want to take part in the Royal Race, because the winners will marry them and become Princes!
But it's a tricky race: hopping forward too fast will get you only a few points, and arriving too late no points!
Water Lily is a suspenseful short race game from acclaimed designer Dominique Ehrhard (Marrakech, MacGregor, Crazy Circus, Serenissima, Condottiere...), a blend of bluff, tactical moves and some luck.

Water Lily board

My simple design of the board for the 'try before buy' purpose. Single A4 sheet in pdf. Just add 20 (5x4) clour discs and take colour designation tiles from Colovini's Clans (or make them yourself). I used to play Water Lily without hiding the scoring part of the board thus eliminating the optional memory factor. Enjoy the game!

Rules in Korean. If there is something wrong, please send a geekmail to me, not email. As I play this game, it may be updated.
