Jungle Speed Kids

Rescue in the jungle

In the jungle, hidden animals must be rescued from the lion. On 32 animal tiles monkey, elephant, giraffe and zebra look up, down or straight ahead or have closed eyes, twice for each way, so that you have each combination of animal and line of vision in play twice. There are four lion tiles.

Animal and lion tiles are shuffled and laid out face-down around the totem. Each player selects one of the adventurer cards and sets it down colored side up. In turn, you reveal a tile and turn it back over again. If you think that you know where an animal of the same family, for instance a second ape, lies, you grab the totem and put it on the tile under which you believe the intended animal to be. The line of vision of the animals is disregarded. If you found the correct second animal, you take both tiles. If you made a mistake, you freeze – indicated by turning over of your adventurer card – and unfreeze again, when either a lion tile is revealed, or you turn over your adventurer card in your next turn instead of revealing an animal tile. Revealed lion tiles remain open-faced. When the fourth lion tile appears, the game ends and you win with most animal tiles.

In the Auge um Auge variant you must find pairs of animals with the same line of vision, the type of animal is disregarded; in the König des Dschungels variant, the revealed tiles remain open-faced; if you spot a second one, you grab the totem, put it on one tile of the pair and point at the second tile.

A very pretty version of the Jungle Speed mechanism, with varying levels of difficult, but in each variant, you need to observe closely, memorize well and react quickly.
