Board Games with "Leap" or "Jump" in the Title

No Major Game Is Simply Called "Leap"—But These Come Close

There's no widely recognized board game titled "Leap." However, several games feature leaping/jumping as a core mechanic or name element:

Direct Name Matches

• LeapFrog – Classic children's game (not a board game) where players vault over crouched peers. Also a 1990s electronic toy brand
• Leap of Faith – Title used for multiple unrelated games; no single famous board game owns it
• Jump! – Several small-party games use this title (e.g., Jump! 2018, a dexterity stacking game)

Games Where Leaping/Jumping Is Central

• Checkers / Draughts – Mandatory jumps capture pieces; "king" pieces leap multiple squares
• Chinese Checkers – Entire game is hopping marbles across a star board
• Peg Solitaire – Jump pegs to remove them; goal is one peg left
• Hare and Tortoise – Strategic racing; "leapfrogging" opponents is a key tactic
• Frogger (board game versions) – Literal frog leaping across hazards
• Kangaroo (1970s) – Players leap kangaroo tokens around a track

How to Find Your Game

If you're recalling a specific game:

1. Search BoardGameGeek.com with keywords: "leap," "jump," "hop," "frog," "kangaroo"
2. Filter by decade, player count, or component type (cards, dice, board)
3. Describe any distinctive pieces (plastic frogs? marbles? cards?) for better identification

Most "leaping" games are either abstract strategy (checkers family) or children's dexterity/race games. The mechanic is ubiquitous; the title "Leap" is not.
