Junggle is a board game released in 2017 for 2–10 players, 10–15 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Bruno Faidutti and Anja Wrede and its main mechanics are Push Your Luck and Memory.
Junggle is a series of mini games that use the same deck of cards and the animal wheel inspired by the Chinese animals chess game. The rhino is afraid of the elephant, the lion is afraid of the rhino, etc.... but the big and mighty elephant is afraid of the tiny mouse. The games are: King of the Jungle, a simultaneous action game Lost in the Jungle, a memory and risk taking game The Watering Hole, a double guessing game Jungle Party, a bluffing and tactical game Rumble in the Jungle, a simultaneous action game
Junggle supports 2–10 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 Junggle is 10–15 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 Junggle for ages 7 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.
Junggle 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.
