About the game
Not to be confused with Jumanji. Prop replica of the iconic Jumanji game featuring detailed sculpts and full graphic artwork both at the inside and outside. Rules and components have been included to make the prop replica actually playable. Note that the rules differ completely from those of the previously released board game. The rules are relatively simple. You start with a Jumanji die which defines your action during a turn. The options are: rolling the dice for movement (in some cases against other players), collecting an additional life card (you start with three in your hand) or drafting a Jumanji card. The Jumanji cards can be both positive and negative and may lock a player on a certain space until being freed. All in all it concerns a game of chance based on dice rolling and card drafting. Although the goal is to be the first player to reach the city of gold (Jumanji), this game is partly cooperative in that Jumanji wins when all players are locked on their space or have lost all of their lives.

Questions and answers
Jumanji 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 catalogue lists Jumanji for ages 14 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.
Jumanji 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.
Jumanji belongs to these categories: Movies / TV / Radio theme. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Open Drafting, and Semi-Cooperative Game.
