How to Play:Īs mentioned earlier, the game play is simple enough. I’m not sure if this is to lower the production costs or to help avoid collateral damage (more on that later), but I enjoy the weight of the wood one and would say to get that version if you can find it. I should note that while my edition has a totem made out of wood, newer editions have the totem made out of foam/plastic. A small, wooden…cylinder…for lack of a better word, that sits in the middle of the table. Normally, that would infuriate me (as I like to keep my games in pristine condition), but as Jungle Speed is a chaotic party game, I don’t mind that my cards have a a lot of “Love”. While the cards are high quality, unless you decide to sleeve them, there is a good chance they will show some ware fairly quickly. There is a deck of square cards, each with a colored shape on them. There is not a whole lot of components to Jungle Speed. The winner gives their face up cards to the loser and play continues until someone is out of cards. Play progresses by players flipping over cards until two people are showing matching cards, in which case a mad grab for the totem in the middle of the table occurs. Each player has an equal sized deck full of cards with various shapes on them. The object of Jungle Speed is to get rid of all the cards in your deck. With about 2 minutes of rules explanation, a play time of 10 minutes and a whole lot of interaction, Jungle Speed has yet to disappoint. So when I’m making my decisions on which games to bring to a gathering, one of the first things I grab is the bag (yes, it comes in a zebra patterned bag) for Jungle Speed. No one wants to sit through a 20 minute rule explanation when you are just looking to drink and have a good time. When I’m looking for a good party game, my requirements are: very easy to teach, interactive, able to accommodate a large group of people and a quick play time.
