Jungle Speed is a great game to liven up your Friday night.Basically the game consists of a totem that sits in the middle of the table.As the players flip their cards sequentially, matches occur and trigger a mad grab for the totem.I owned the original version of the game that included a fine quality heavy wooden totem, which in theory is a nice perk.In practice and by practice, I mean several beers into the evening, the smaller wooden totem was not as "kid" friendly (or drunk friendly) as the new version, which includes the plastic yellow totem.
The game always starts out only as civil as a British tea party, but two rounds in erupts into a shout out at the ok corral. I love this game.
My nieces and nephews also love this game.They learned the rules quickly (faster than the adults did) and they love to play.Now, its usually hard to pry them off from their game box and its simply great to see them enjoying a game that does not plug into the wall.This is my favorite new game. Playing it results in a lot of laughter, so don't buy it if you don't like laughing. This is a card matching game that's enjoyable for anyone from the kids to grandma. The rules are complex and the cards are easy to confuse because the game is played at warp speed and you must make decisions quickly. Sometimes you win a play by hesitating, but the usual route to victory is quick reflexes. As the Jungle Speed folks claim, "It's tense, it's manic and it's a bucketful of laughs".Jungle Speed is a fast paced game requiring eye-hand coordination, and is hilarious in a group setting. Each person is dealt cards with geometric images on them, which are turned over one by one at each person's turn. There is a wooden "handle" in the center of the table, which must be grabbed speedily if an image card matches anyone else's card out on the table. It is a great game with lots of laughter and good competition. After playing it at our house, many friends have bought it, too.

We love this game. Everyone can test their reflexes and concentration. To compete over the ability to recognize simple shapes and colors faster let's kids get an advantage over their parents. The game is easy to master (2-3 rounds), each round is only a few minutes long, so it lets you invite your guests during a party as well.
The cards will look a bit worn out after a while, but this will not influence the game at all.
We may have to force people to try it, but once they sit at that table we have to force them out the door sometime after 3 am.
This game is fabulous for the kids: it teaches observation and hand and eye control
For the adults its a great test of speed and observation as well. We never have a game where we aren't laughing and having a blast.
It is very creative and one of the hits of the party when people come over or the kids want to play with Mom & Dad.
We sent this out to family for Christmas presents last year and plan to hit friends with the same gift this year!
Give it a shot, your groupwhether family or friends will enjoy it!
------Follow the directions on at least one part-> NO DRINKS ON THE TABLE! Trust me on this one...
