Jungle Speed
In Jungle Speed, you must rely on your keen sense of observation and quick reflexes. It requires a steady hand - which can be hard to maintain during the many fits of maniacal laughter. The wooden Totem sits in the middle of the table, waiting for the player with the fastest reflexes to snatch it up and win the game. Each player is dealt a hand of cards. In order to win you must be the first player to get rid of all of your cards. Each turn, all of the players reveal one of their cards. If two cards are identical, those players must make a grab for the Totem. The faster player then gives their cards to their unfortunate adversary. To add to the difficulty, certain cards are almost identical, which can trick a hapless player into grabbing the Totem by mistake - a grave error. Other cards force all players to make a grab at once, change the method of play, or otherwise add to the difficulty. It’s a Jungle Speed Free-for-all - do you have the catlike reflexes to win’ Contains: one Cloth Bag, 80 Cards and one Rule Book. The game is for 3 to 8 players and takes about 15 minutes to play.

5 Stars Great game for any occasion
Great game. I enjoy playing with my siblings, my parents, my friends - great for parties. I do not enjoy playing it with my grandparents tho - this games takes speed and concentration! Love it
4 Stars Great game thats easy to pick up and has a high replay value
This is a simple game to play although it may not appear to be such from the rules. It moves rather quickly once everyone understands whats going on. (Its one of those games that sounds much harder to understand when you explain it than it really is.)
My family played it through the holidays and now my apartment gets together ever so often (college student) to play as well. Its so simple that you’ll find yourself ending one game very eager to get on with the next.
All in all a very enjoyable game that really anyone can play.
5 Stars Fun and laughter for everyone!
Jungle Speed is extremely fun! I play it regularly with a group of twenty-somethings at lunchtime at work and I always go back to work laughing. Now that I have my own deck, I’ve introduced it to my 10-13-year-old cousins, my 16-year-old sister, my parents, and my 65-year-old grandmother–everyone has really enjoyed this game. It engages both your mind and your body, as you have to recognize subtle differences in shapes quickly and coordinate with your body to grab the totem before your opponents. It’s also small and portable, very convenient!
5 Stars Jungle Speed
Get this game! It is so much fun. It was in super condition when I got it. Thank you!
5 Stars Jungle fun
This game is high paced, potentially dangerous, uses instinct and ability to recognize shapes and colors, and therefor is SO MUCH FUN! The only draw back is that I have to wait for friends to come over to play it. Everyone I have asked to play this game loves it! So much fun!
