Jumanji Deluxe Game

This game is a little hard to figure out it first but once you get it down, it’s a lot of fun! My six-year-old can even play it. I wish it was a little bit more durable because it’s very thin plastic but that’s OK. It’s still a lot of fun.

Jumanji Stampede Rating: 5/5 Stars Review: “As a fan of both the original Robin Williams movie, and the newer movies, I had to try out Jumanji Stampede to see what it was like. I will be honest, I found out about this game completely by accident, but when I did, I could not stop thinking about it. Upon opening the box, I found that it had a lot of bells and whistles. I played this game for the first time with both my parents, and we had a blast. The gameplay was a lot of fun as we moved our ‘player movers’ across the board to find the five crystals. The action cards were often unpredictable as none of us knew what we were going to expect, but it added an extra layer of suspense. I also liked the power-ups we received from returning the crystal horn to Rhino Mountain. Part of me wished that there were other power-ups that came with returning the other four crystals, but I understand that the crystal horn was intended to be the literal crowning jewel of the game. I also liked the look of the ‘movers’ and their corresponding player boards. The designs of each character mimics what I would expect to see from the new Jumanji movies. It was also fun controlling the villain, Draven, as he tried to get to the top of rhino mountain. It gave us, the players, a sense of urgency as we tried to find all five crystals. Although the characters were fun to control, all three of them felt the same UNTIL we got those power-ups from returning the crystal horn. Although the characters were modeled after Dr. ‘Smolder’ Bravestone, Franklin ‘Mouse’ Finbar, Professor Sheldon ‘Shelley’ Oberon, and Ruby Roundhouse, none of the characters had their own strengths and weaknesses like they did in the movies. The inclusion of these strengths and weaknesses could have added more possibilities to turn the tide of the game. The characters also felt a little overpowered as we could easily win against Draven because we were all playing with the same characters. Since the game is geared towards players who are eight years old or older, I understand why this is the case, but it also made this game feel too easy to win. I also would have liked to have seen ‘player movers’ and ‘player boards’ for Jefferson ‘Seaplane’ McDonough and Ming Fleet-foot, but I understand that including them would have made the game more complicated than it needed to be. The best part of the game was the six animal dangers. Triggering each one felt so satisfying as we got the enjoyment of knocking things over. Imagine Mousetrap, but with six smaller traps to put together instead of one big one, a lot more stable, and a lot more chaotic. The traps are not without their flaws (e.g. the baboon often fell out of its tree by accident and would soar over ‘movers’ when launched, the snake tree often sent ‘movers’ flying off the board like shrapnel, and the rhino ball sometimes went down the track the elephant ball was supposed to go down if pushed too hard), but watching the domino effects of each trap as they are triggered added an extra layer of fun to an already involved game. These flaws also gave the traps an element of unpredictability. Even though a trap was activated, you could not be completely sure that you were safe just because a trap other than the one you were in front of was triggered. Although there were some things that could be refined, I loved Jumanji Stampede. The memorable and involved experience made me want to play it again. With such a beautiful looking board coupled with a fantastic blend of strategic gameplay and hilariously chaotic mechanics, this board game can add some adventure to your game-night. I recommend this game for its fun mechanics, and all the bells and whistles that come with its strategic gameplay.”

Really fun game! It does take a while to put together and you definitely need a little space as the board is a bit big. It’s definitely worth the money! Took us a little to fully understand how all the rules were, but once we got it we had so much fun playing! Our 5 year old played with us but we definitely had to help him through it, I’d say about 7 you’d be able to play and fully understand and adults have fun too, so 7+ for age range. No missing pieces; it’s durable. If you like strategy type games, this definitely covers that.

My 16 year old daughter played this with her cousins, that live in another state, and had a blast. We bought it for Christmas and played it as a family a few times and enjoyed it every time. The screen is a little hard to see from a distance. You almost have to be right over it to see it clearly.

Reminds me of Fireball Island from back in the day, there is a lot of potential for knocking down figures and the Leopard and Baboon love to fly into each other. My 8 year old loved it and it is not a hard game to learn. Highly recommend if you want a coop game to play with your kids. I would not recommend this for just adults unless you customize the rules a little to make it more difficult.

This game is SO MUCH FUN! It’s fast moving and interactive. I love that it’s a team played game.

Fun game for 4 people even though some of the tasks are a bit performative

Way better than the other jumanji board game. Instructions are a bit hard to follow but pretty fun with the whole family. Three and a half stars

Beställt 17dec -24 som födelsedagspresent. Tre dagar senare avbryts ordern pga att artikeln var skadad, och ingen annan kunde skickas. Vid beställningsögonblicket fanns 8st i lager. Så mera en recension av försäljaren än spelet i sig. Som faktiskt var ganska roligt när vi väl fick det 2 veckor efter födelsedagen, då jag fick importera det ifrån UK via ebay istället. Av någon anledning finns spelet på all världens språk på amazon, men den enda som säljer engelska versionen har inte koll på sitt lagersaldo.

Looks good, if you are Jumanji fun this is for you!

I bought this for my niece's birthday (In fact she requested it ^^) and she absolutely love it!

Very simple to play with poor quality components that feel somewhat flimsy. Will keep you a little entertained for an hour or so. Storage box is awful.

Fun game, it had us moving and acting,probably gets more fun with more players
