Welcome to Froggie La grenouille ® web site. We are proud to introduce to the public in general,this exclusive, exciting and legendary game, SAPO (The Froggie Game) We first run across this game at a pub high in the Andes along a road that snaked to the ancient Sacred Valley. The history of SAPO seems to have been lost over time. I've read alternatively that it was a game based on ancient traditions of skipping rocks in a magical Peruvian lake, to reports that it was imported from Europe in the 1700's (We like the magical lake story better). The one thing that remains constant in all this reports is.... that, after the first time you play... you're hooked. It consists of a piece of furniture with several holes on the top surface and a frog with it's mouth open, where players (minimum 2) attempt to throw heavy brass medallions into the holes wich score very diferently from one to another, been the most difficult one the frog's mouth and the spinners..Players stand about 15 feet away and lunch the heavy medallions at the box. Each hole on the box has a different point value, the highest points are reserved for tossing the coin directly down to the throat of the frog. This is an event which should be followed with a shout of "SAPO". There is something undeniably satisfying about hitting a sapo. In addition to the frog there are other brass pieces guarding holes in the game which make enthusiastic clanging sounds when hit.
