Hey! So, let me tell you about this awesome game called Jungle Speed. It’s super fun and can be played by 2 to 10 players. You can start playing when you’re 8 years old. How cool is that?

Ready to Play?

The goal of the game is simple: be the first one to get rid of all your cards and you win! Easy, right?

Getting Started

To set up, just place the totem in the middle of the table. Then, shuffle the deck of 80 cards and deal them out evenly to each player. Any leftover cards go under the totem. Each player should have their own stack of cards face-down in front of them.

Let the Fun Begin!

When it’s my turn to play, I flip over the top card from my stack. The card gets placed on top of the previous round’s stack, creating a face-up discard pile.

We take turns playing clockwise. I can only use one hand to play, and the other hand just stays put. I always flip my card towards my opponents, letting them have a peek at the card before I do.

Here are a few examples:

Duel

Let’s talk about something that has captivated us for centuries: duels. They are a fascinating form of conflict resolution that dates back to ancient times. When I think about duels, I’m reminded of sword fights in classic tales, like those of knights and musketeers. These duels were often a matter of honor and were used to settle disputes between two individuals.

One of the key components of a duel is the code of honor that governed it. There were rules that had to be followed, such as the choice of weapons and the location of the duel. These rules ensured a fair and acceptable way to settle differences. It’s intriguing to think about how people of the past held honor in such high regard and were willing to risk their lives to uphold it.

However, duels were not without their consequences. They were dangerous and sometimes deadly. The participants had to put their skills, training, and nerve to the test. The outcome of a duel could dictate the course of someone’s life or even their legacy. It was a high-stakes endeavor that required both physical and mental toughness.

Nowadays, duels are mostly confined to the realm of fiction and historical reenactments. We no longer rely on violence and personal combat to resolve our differences. Instead, we have developed other methods, such as negotiation, mediation, and the legal system. These alternatives may not be as glamorous or exciting as a duel, but they provide a safer and more civilized way to address conflicts.

In conclusion, duels have played a significant role in human history as a means of conflict resolution. They were governed by a code of honor and symbolized personal bravery. Today, we have moved away from such violent methods and have adopted more peaceful ways to settle disputes. While duels may be a thing of the past, they still hold a special place in our collective imagination.

So here’s what happens when two players have cards with the same design (but different colors): we have ourselves a duel! And in this duel, it’s all about speed. Both players try to be the first to grab the totem. Whoever gets a hold of it first is the winner of the duel.

Now, here’s the catch – the loser of the duel has to pick up not only their opponent’s discard pile but also their own discard pile. On top of that, they have to collect any cards that are in the middle of the table. All of these cards should be placed face-down under their stack of cards.

After the duel is over, the game goes on as usual, but this time, it starts with the player who lost the duel. If a special card is played during the game, it can involve multiple players in a duel. And again, whoever grabs the totem first wins the round.

In some cases, more than one player may lose a round. For example, if several players fail to spot a match and grab the totem, they all become losers. In this situation, the winner gets to decide how the cards are distributed among the losers.

Hey there! Did you know that the top card of your discard pile can provoke a duel? Pretty cool, huh?

Listen up: Even though some cards may look alike, they actually have small differences. So, keep an eye out!

Time to Get Rambunctious

Now, don’t go crazy when you and your friends argue about who snatched the totem first. We can solve this peacefully, I promise.

First, let’s see who has the most fingers on the totem. And if it’s a tie, whoever has their hand underneath the other person’s is the champ.

Oh, and here’s a little tip: If the totem falls off the table during the chaos, that attempt doesn’t count. So, keep it steady.

Consequences

If someone grabs the totem by mistake, they have to take all the face-up cards on the table. Yup, that means every player’s discard pile, as well as any cards in the middle.

And remember, the same rule applies if somebody drops the totem. No exceptions!

Special Cards

I have some exciting news for you! The special cards I’m about to tell you about, don’t start duels, but they do something even more interesting – they change the rules of the game. How cool is that?

Arrows Pointing Inward

When we play the totem-grabbing game, the main goal is to be the quickest one to snatch that totem! Once you grab it, you gotta quickly place all your face-up cards below the totem and start a fresh round.

Vibrant Arrows

Hey there! Things just got a lot more interesting. Instead of triggering duels with matching symbols, duels now start when you match colors. It’s like a whole new game!

But here’s the twist – as soon as any of these things happen: the totem falls over, a duel begins, or another special card is flipped, the effect of this card is canceled out. That means duels will go back to being triggered by symbols.

Outward-facing Arrows

When we all play the game, we each flip over the top card from our stacks at the same time. If any of the symbols on those cards match, we have a duel, just like we normally would.

If there are no matches, the player who flipped over the Outward-Facing Arrows card keeps the round going.

Some Things to Keep in Mind

So, here’s the deal. If one of those “Outward-Facing Arrows” cards gets flipped and it causes another “Outward-Facing Arrows” card to flip, that second card does its thing, unless there’s also a duel triggered by the flip.

Now, if that first card causes an “Inward-Facing Arrows” card to flip and a duel is happening at the same time, things get interesting. The player who grabs the totem first gets to decide what happens. They can either let the duel’s result stand (which means the loser picks up all the cards) or they can let the special card rule take over (which means the winner puts their face-up cards in the middle of the table).

Oh, and if multiple duels happen at the same time, the player who grabs the totem first wins their duel, and any other duels get canceled.

Now, let’s talk about the end of the game.

Once a player flips their very last card, it stays face-up on top of their discard pile, and the other players keep on playing.

You haven’t truly won until you find a way to discard all your cards.

Special situations may arise during the game:

– If the last card a player turns over is an “Inward-Facing Arrows” card and they fail to grab the totem, they must take all face-up cards instead of the winner putting theirs in the middle. The game continues.

– If the last card a player turns over is an “Outward-Facing Arrows” card, they win right away.

– If the last card a player turns over is a “Colored Arrows” card, they must take all face-up cards, and the game continues. In this case, the “Colored Arrows” card doesn’t have its usual effect.

For three-player games, there are alternate rules.

At the beginning of the game, remember to remove the “Colored Arrows” card from the deck. This card has a special rule. When a card is flipped and all three players have the same color showing, it will have the same effect as if one player had just flipped an “Inward-Facing Arrows” card. Keep this in mind when playing the game!

Rules for Two Players

• The first player uses their right hand
• The second player uses their right hand
• The first player uses their left hand
• The second player uses their left hand
