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.”

Purchased for my 10 yr old for Christmas. He loves the movies. The game came with batteries. As soon as you open it the drums began to rumble. It was an interesting game to play. Did not take too long to finish. Had us dragging each other out of quicksand and building towers to climb. It is a fun interactive game

Cool 3D model and fun game
Color: Stampede 3d Board GameVerified Purchase
The quality of the plastic and cardboard pieces to make the giant 3D gameboard is good, all moving parts function well. I like the "cooperative" game concept where the players are working together to beat the villain. Somewhat complex game rules, which is great if you are an adult or playing with older kids. Younger kids may need a bit of help with the rules. Great game!JillianCool 3D model and fun game
