About the game
Sloths are the slowest animals in the jungle, but a comfy new hammock in the treetops is worth racing for! Climb the trees as fast as you can without falling asleep or breaking a branch. Get to the hammock first to win. Contents: 1x Jungle board, 4x Sloths, 4x Sloth tokens, 18x Climbing boards and instructions. Players play a climbing strip, with 4 symbols, in one of two orientations matching a row of sloths to either make a sloth move, make a sloth sleep and not move or have a sloth fall back one space. Each player is either openly or secretly one of the four sloths. If your sloth gets to the hammock at the top of the 3D board first, you win.
