Jungle Speed: The rules of the game are clearly explained
Jungle Speed is a simple card game for children and adults aged seven and over. The minimum number of players is two and a maximum of ten people can play. The rules of the game are quickly explained.
- According to the game instructions, Jungle Speed is a very old game and is said to have been played over 3,000 years ago by the Abouloubou tribe in the fictional, subtropical Spidopotamia.
- The game is a card game. At the beginning there is a deck on the table or playing surface. This is a face-down stack of cards that lies in front of each player.
- In addition, there is a shelf, a stack of cards, which lies face up in front of each player.
- The pot, on the other hand, is a stack of cards that lies beneath the totem.
- The aim of the game is to be the first to get rid of your own cards. This is how you become the new tribal leader of the Abouloubou tribe.
In the duel for the totem: speed wins
At the beginning of the card game, you shuffle the 80 cards and deal them face down and in equal parts to everyone. The totem is then placed in the middle. The ritual requires everyone playing to bow to him respectfully.
- The dealer begins the game. Now, one after the other, the players reveal a card from their deck in a clockwise direction. This card is placed on your own board, clearly visible to everyone. Important: You may only use one hand when revealing.
- If two people reveal cards with the same symbol, regardless of suit, there is a duel. The first person to grab the totem wins. Whoever loses must take his or her duel partner's discard card and all cards in the pot.
- If there are several losers, which can certainly happen, each loser takes back his own board. The winner of the duel then distributes his discard and the pot however he wants. The loser of the duel now takes his turn and reveals the next card as the game progresses.
- There are several special cards in the game that can change the course of the game. For example, a special card means you have to pay attention to the colors and no longer the symbols. Another card asks all players to reveal their decks at the same time. If there are two or more identical symbols, a duel occurs again.
- When one person has revealed the last card from the deck, the others continue playing. The winner is whoever wins a duel and gets rid of all the cards. The game may continue until the last duel has been fought. In this way, the ranking of the tribe can be further played out.
