Jungle Speed
Flip cards, spot the match, and lunge for the totem before anyone else's hand gets there first.
Who it's for
Large, energetic groups who want a loud reflex game with genuine physical competition built in.
Not for you if…
You want a calm evening or dislike sudden hand-lunging chaos, because Jungle Speed is neither calm nor gentle.
Vibe's take
frantic, physical, loud, instant, high-energy

About this game
Jungle Speed reduces board gaming to its purest, fastest nerve: a wooden totem sits in the middle, and the instant two players flip matching symbols, hands fly. Grab it first and dump your cards on the loser, grab it wrong and you eat a penalty card instead. There is zero downtime, zero strategy to hide behind, just symbols, reflexes and the occasional bruised knuckle from a genuinely competitive grab. First player to empty their hand wins, but really, everyone remembers the games for the totem lunges, not the final score.
