Rumble in the Jungle (2004)

About this game

You're a daring explorer racing through the jungle, trying to be the first to send the golden monkey statue flying from its hiding place. But the monkeys have set seven treacherous traps to knock you off track. Suddenly there is a rumble in the jungle as a boulder crashes down from the treetops. Look out... if you're the one in its path! Will you escape? Or will you be the one to reach the treasure first? Whatever happens, watch your step and remember - if you hear a rumble in the jungle, then trouble is never very far away! Ages 5+. In this game, player try to get to the middle of the board while avoiding the traps. The traps are set off when the Wheel of Doom is turned a certain number of times; the wheel is turned when a player lands on the proper space.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
