About the game
Get ready to test your reflexes and eagle-eye vision in Jungle Speed, a classic dexterity game that promises lots of laughter and adrenaline! In the center of the table, a wooden totem awaits the fastest player to snatch it up. The objective is simple: get rid of all your cards before your opponents. Sounds easy, right? But the jungle of Jungle Speed has its own rules and tricks!

Each player receives a deck of cards, and each round, everyone reveals one card simultaneously. The magic happens when two identical cards appear on the table. At that moment, the two players whose cards match must be the first to grab the totem. Whoever is faster passes their cards to the unfortunate player who was left behind. But beware! There are cards that are almost identical, ready to trick the unwary into grabbing the totem by mistake – and that costs dearly, you know? Furthermore, some special cards can turn the game upside down, forcing everyone to grab the totem at once, temporarily changing the rules, or adding an extra challenge. Fun is guaranteed for those looking for a fast, dynamic game that gets everyone competing in a hilarious way. It's one of those games you can take out of the box and start playing in seconds, perfect for any gathering!
