Jungle Speed

By Foxmind

Recommended age: 7 years old +

Test your reflexes and observation skills with your child with the game Jungle Speed! You place a totem in the center of the table and each player will have a stack of cards they need to get rid of to win. In turn, players turn a card so it’s visible. If two players have the same card, they must enter a duel. The first to grab the totem gets to give all his cards to his opponent.
