Jungle Speed: 20 Years is a board game released in 2014 for 2–8 players. It was designed by Thomas Vuarchex and Pierrick Yakovenko and its main mechanics are Pattern Recognition.
Jungle Speed: 20 Years is a special edition of Jungle Speed designed to celebrate the games's twentieth anniversary. Gameplay remains the same as always: Shuffle the cards and deal them out as evenly as possible among all players. Set the totem in the middle of the playing area. Players take turns flipping one card at a time from their personal deck onto a personal discard deck. If two face-up cards show the same symbol, the players of those cards race to grab the totem, with the first grabber giving his stack of face-up cards to the slowpoke. Special cards mix up who should be grabbing what when to keep players on their toes. Whoever runs out of cards first wins! Jungle Speed: 20 Years comes packaged in a special golden case with a golden-backed version of the original card deck as well as a new card deck and a wooden totem.
Jungle Speed: 20 Years supports 2–8 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.
