Description

Jungo is a fast-paced and exciting card game designed by Toshiki Arao, perfect for 3 to 5 players looking for a quick and thrilling experience. With a playtime of just 15 minutes, this game is great for a casual gathering or a fun break from more complex games. The rules are simple and easy to learn, making it accessible to players of all skill levels. In Jungo, players aim to be the first to get rid of their cards by playing them in strategic combinations, using hand management and ladder climbing mechanics to outmaneuver their opponents. The game starts with each player receiving a hand of cards that they cannot rearrange, and from there, it's a race to play the right cards at the right time. Players can play single cards or sets of cards with the same value, but only if they are adjacent to each other in their hand. As the game progresses, players must strategically decide when to play, when to pass, and when to use the special "jungo" rule to play a card immediately and gain an advantage. With its unique blend of strategy and luck, Jungo is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end, when the first player to empty their hand is declared the winner.
