Good day! Over the past year and a half, I and some of my friends have a great entertainment in the company - the game “Jungle speed”. The game is dynamic, slightly traumatic (the main type of injury is broken nails in girls), but very emotional. The game is like even those who usually have a strange hostility to board games.
Kit contents:
The game set consists of 80 cards and a grasp stick. Cards are divided into two types: "figures" and "arrows". There are such figures: Each of the figures is presented in four colors, total we get 72 cards with figures. As you can see, there are many similar at first glance, but slightly different figures.
There are three types of arrows in the game: A pair of "color" and three cards with arrows "inside" and "out". ')
Preparation and start of the game:
All cards are divided equally between the participants (from 3 to 80 people can play, the highest is from 3 to 6 players). Cards are face-up, in the course of the game, each of the players in turn opens the top card from his deck and puts it in a pile in front of him. The players are arranged in a circle, a grasp stick is placed in the center.
A game:
The meaning of the game is to look for coincidence of shapes according to forms. When a match is found on a map with a figure on another player’s map, a duel takes place between them. Duelists should try as soon as possible to grab the prehensile stick standing in the center. Who did it first - wins the duel. The loser picks up the winner’s open cards, his open cards and puts them in his deck, face down. The goal of the game is to get rid of your cards as soon as possible.
Arrows:
Cards with arrows bring variety to the game. When opening the "arrow inside" card, each of the participants should try to grab the stick faster than the others. If the out-of-arrow card is open, then all participants simultaneously open another one at 1-2-3. "Colored arrows" translate the game into the search mode for matches by color (and not by forms, as usual).
Penalties:
If a person confused the pieces, grabbed a stick not in his turn or made some other mistake, then he gets the open cards of all the players.
The end of the game:
The game ends when one of the players runs out of all the cards. This, in my opinion, is also a “plus” of the game, since there are no losers, there is only one winner (:
