Description

Bring the adventure to life with Jumanji Deluxe, the electronic version of the legendary board game. The drums of Jumanji greet you and your band of brave adventurers as you suddenly find yourselves deep in the jungle. Danger lies along your path, threatening to take away your 3 precious Life Tokens. Your goal is to reach Jumanji (the center) and call out its name, but beware: if any of your group runs out of Life Tokens, everyone loses! On each turn, roll dice and move along the path, using the electronic Green Dome to reveal a captivating riddle or perilous event. Look deep into the Dome as mysterious words and animations illuminate and appear. From poisonous spiders to mountain avalanches, danger is everywhere! With 100 Challenges to survive, you never know what Jumanji has in store for you. Reach the center with at least one Life Token left per player and yell “JUMANJI!” – you’ve just won for the whole group! Jumanji Deluxe is an immersive, exciting adventure game that puts you in the center of the action. For 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up. 3 AA Batteries included so you can play right away.

    Fun tie in to the movie!

    Jumanji is a very fun game, good for children and adults. The challenges are challenging whilst being entertaining, and the rules are pretty simple to follow. Recommendation- use one dice. while the game is fun, its very short and the game lasts about thirty minutes with two players. Using just one die makes the game longer so you can have more fun with the challenges.

    Great Board Game!

    I have always wanted to play Jumanji since the first movie came out, and after 26 years I finally got the chance. I played this with my 14 year old son and we both had so much fun playing it. Game play is easy to understand and follow and the fact that the green bubble in the middle actually shows text and pictures makes the experience that much more "real"! As soon as you open the game board it plays the Jumanji drums, however the intro is a little long. The games does require a few AA batteries in order for the display and sounds to work. The game pieces look like the rhino piece from the movie, just different colors, I do wish though that they varied in animal like the original movie. The challenges were so much fun and my son and I couldn't contain our excitement. I think I just found one of my new favorite board games. This is great for the whole family and a definite addition to family game night!

    Fun Game, Flawed Execution

    My husband and I played this with our two boys aged 9 & 11.
    They found the game to be really fun, my 9 year old said it was "Amazing!".
    We found the game to be quite loud, and the sounds went on far too long after the riddles had left the screen.
    It was hard to read the text on the dome if you were sitting on the side of the game board.
    You need a LOT of room to play this game; a table big enough to spread out 100 cards, and room to act out the challenges and events.
    This game will have you running around, so make sure that there's space for that.
    100 cards seems a bit excessive, maybe there could be fewer categories?
    There is a lot of reading in this game, so kids will likely need an adult to help them out. You will need to refer to the instructions for all events, so make sure you keep them safe.
    The presentation of the game is excellent, the molded case looks great and holds everything safe inside.
    Overall, we enjoyed our play through, and will likely be playing it again.

    Family Fun!

    We were looking forward to having an evening to play. We decided to play it the day that it arrived! We weren’t sure what to expect but loved the movies.
    Rules are very straight forward. There is a reading element to the game so, if someone is not a strong reader, I would recommend they “team up” with someone that can help them.
    Not like a typical board game, that is what makes it fun. We played twice and you will never play the same way twice. Lots of adventure going on in our house that evening. It unleashed a creative side to all the players. You will not be planted at the table very long, you will be going on an adventure in our own home.
    We had a lot of laughs and it brought a ton of laughter. We can’t wait to play again and introduce the game to others. Nice part is no one wins. Once one is out, everyone is out. Nice to see people trying to help reach other with their missions.
    Be prepared for the unexpected:)

    Fun family game

    We enjoyed playing as a family. It may be better suited for much younger kids although my 13 year old enjoyed it. It’s interesting and easy to learn how to play.

    Great for family night!

    This game is so much fun for the family! It's easy to learn for young players and entertaining for the adults. The board is unique and the case is beautifully designed. The addition of the lights and sounds makes it even more enjoyable!
