About the game
In this new Jungle Speed version for kids, be the first to catch the totem when two identical tiles appear. The goal of the game is to collect the most tiles by game's end. This version differs from standard Jungle Speed by mixing in elements from the classic children's game Memory which makes it perfect for younger children to enter the world of Jungle Speed. The game consists of 36 animal tiles and the Jungle Speed totem. The tiles are comprised of 8 each of a monkey, elephant, giraffe, and zebra along with 4 lions. All the tiles are placed face-down in a grid just like "Memory" with the totem placed at the center of the grid. Each player takes turns flipping over one tile in the grid making sure each player has seen it and then replacing it face-down in its original place. As soon as a flipped tile matches one that has previously been flipped (not including the lions), the players race to grab the totem. The player who is fastest to the totem now has to turn over the correct matching tile hopefully remembering where it is. If they are successful they collect both tiles and put it in a pile in front of them. If they do not flip over the correct tile, they are frozen and can not grab for the totem until they use their next turn to become unfrozen. When a player flips over a lion tile , the tile is removed from the grid and placed on the side of the grid. When the fourth lion tile is flipped, the game immediately ends and the player with the most tiles wins. —user summary

Questions and answers
Jungle Speed Kids supports 2–6 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 Jungle Speed Kids is 15–30 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 Jungle Speed Kids for ages 4 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.
Jungle Speed Kids 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.
