About the game
How skillful of an elephant can you prove yourself to be? Can you pick up only what you're instructed — and more importantly, can you do it faster than anyone else? In Bubble Jungle, a.k.a. Tricky Trunks, each player has a plastic elephant device that includes a long tube through which the player can pick up colored balls that are mixed in a box at the start of play. The game includes 48 balls, eight each in six colors. At the start of a round, a challenge card is revealed, showing that players need to pick up all balls of the color facing them, or a specific number of balls in specific colors, or any eleven balls (thereby filling their trunk). Whoever completes the challenge first — hitting the target exactly with nothing extra — claims the challenge card, and whoever first collects ten challenge cards wins!

Questions and answers
Bubble Jungle supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Bubble Jungle is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Bubble Jungle for ages 5 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Bubble Jungle has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
