Forbidden Jungle

Bought this to play with family over the holidays. Lots of fun learning it and playing. It took us an hour to learn and play through the first time and we're all 18+. The game incorporates strategy and luck to win against the aliens and leave the jungle. -Each player has a role that allows them to do something special (example: not lose health when stung by an adult alien) -Each person's turn allows 4 actions including moving to a new part of the jungle, revealing a part of the jungle, using equipment cards you get when landing on specific tiles, moving tiles so the active crystals are aligned near a portal that allows you to leave the jungle, and removing aliens from the tile you're on. -After you take actions, the jungle fights back through threat cards. The number of threat cards you all have to draw each turn starts to increase over time, if you draw the 'increase threat level' card often enough. Aliens may also mature from eggs to hatchlings to adults or show up in unexpected places and derail your plans. Meanwhile, parts of the jungle may be over sinkholes that cause an entire tile to sink and be out of play for the rest of the game. -If you've played Forbidden Island, this is similar but a lot more challenging because you have to move tiles around so that the active crystal tiles surround the portal you use to escape and you have the added difficulty of maturing aliens that can eventually drain your health -If you've played Pandemic but aren't ready to play that game yet after COVID, For idden Jungle is VERY similar with a different theme. Game tiles are good quality and great artwork, alien + people are solid plastic, so it's a game we can play for years to come. As you play this game and get better at your strategy, you can increase the starting threat level so it's a harder game. Great job with this Gamewright!

We love these games and this one was very decently priced compared to in store options.

Reviews are controlled on Amazon. I can only say good job for a metal case!

Muy bueno aunque algo difícil de ganar

This is a really good addition to the series. We play as a family and with 5 players it is a great challenge.
