If you’re in search of a fresh and exhilarating game to spice up your family game night, Jungle Runners from Tactic Games is the answer! This dynamic and exciting board game caters to players of all ages, ensuring a fantastic evening filled with joy and laughter alongside your family.
Setting up the Game
Setting up the game is straightforward. You will be playing within the confines of the box, which serves as your game board. Begin by placing two pieces inside the box, then assemble the falling tree and the rotating bridge. Position the waterfall upright in one corner of the box and attach the crocodile’s tail to the side. After that, secure the game characters to their respective plastic stands. Finally, set the game board on the table, ensuring the start board is outside the box.
How to Play
Each player selects three characters of the same color and positions them at the starting point. The youngest player begins the game by rolling one of the three dice. They advance only one character. The Elephant progresses using the largest die, the Tiger utilizes the medium die, and the Monkey moves with the smallest die. Each character travels along distinct paths on the game board. The Elephant always crosses the river via the tree, the Tiger traverses the turtle bridge, and the Monkey leaps over the crocodile’s tail.
Various obstacles, such as the falling tree, spinning turtles, or the crocodile’s tail, can hinder your team’s progress.
If you land on a space occupied by another character, you may advance to the next space. The turn then rotates clockwise to the next player.
Winning the Game
Be the first player to guide your team of three characters across the finish line.
Jungle Runners is an enjoyable family board game with simple rules, making it entertaining for both kids and adults.
Joining Jungle Runners in Tactic Games’ family category are other new items:
- Ninja Rush gives each player (ninja) the power to hold the sands of time. On each turn, flip the Sensei cards and then with ninja-quick reflexes, quickly choose another player to flip and to where. Remembering not to let the sand timer run out, you can win Ninja Stars for success. However Ninjas need to be very focused because quick change of direction cards can come up at any time. Tactic’s super fun 3D Ninjas characters are the perfect complement to the super-fast reaction gameplay.
- Go Go Eskimo players are adventurers trying to catch the most fish of one kind. They then race to camp and see who’s collected the most. Along the way, each player uses cards to move any adventurer that matches the card through the ice valleys where they can catch fish. They have to watch out for the polar bear that also moves around the board too. If you go fishing in his area he might not be too happy with you. Fun graphics and the tactile fur hoods on the pawns; 3D snow hills, fish tokens and scoring tokens, help make this a high-quality game that will be played again and again.

With its captivating gameplay, top-notch components, and appeal to players of all ages, it stands out as an excellent option for an enjoyable and unforgettable gaming experience.
