## Description
Get ready to enter the jungle with the Jungle Elves in Summoner Wars! This faction brings a tribal and wild feel to the battlefield, with units that move stealthily and strike with lethal precision. Imagine archers hidden in the trees, trained lions carrying warriors, and even nature itself turning against the enemies. The Summoner of this faction, Abua Shi, is driven by vengeance and dark secrets, adding an extra layer of drama to their journey.

The Jungle Elves deck comes with everything you need to summon this tribe: the Summoner Abua Shi, three powerful Champions (Miti Mumway, Makeinda Ru, and Shikwa), common units like Lionesses and Archers, along with "Chant" event cards that bring tactical effects, and Wall cards for defense. It's an expansion that changes the pace of the game, focusing on agile tactics and surprise attacks. If you enjoy a more stealthy playstyle, with units that benefit from positioning and quick strikes, this faction is for you. Dice rolling still dictates the success of attacks, but managing your cards and grid movement are crucial to maximizing the Jungle Elves' potential. It's another piece to expand the Summoner Wars universe, bringing new strategies and challenges for two to four players in quick 30-minute matches.
