In Jungle Speed, you must rely on your keen sense of observation and quick reflexes. It requires a steady hand – which can be hard to maintain amidst the many bursts of laughter! The wooden Totem pole stands in the middle of the table, waiting for the player with the quickest reflexes to snatch it and win the game.

Each player is dealt a hand of cards. To win, you must be the first player to get rid of all your cards. Each round, all players reveal one of their cards. If two cards are identical, these players must try to grab the Totem pole. The quickest player then gives their cards to their unlucky opponent.

To make it more difficult, some cards are almost identical, which can trick a player into grabbing the Totem pole by mistake – a big mistake. Other cards force all players to try to grab the Totem pole simultaneously, change the rules of the game, or increase the difficulty in other ways.
