Have each player place their pawn on the edge of the board that correlates with the color of their piece and place the included rhino piece in the corner of the board with a rhino picture on it. Make sure this is placed in the center of the board before starting. You’ll notice a removable decoder plate included in the box. Have players come together around the game board and pick out a pawn for the game.
In order to get started you’ll first need to set up the game. So get ready for the type of fun that filled our living rooms decades ago and introduced the original version of rage quitting.
You need to reach the center of the board and be the first player to yell “Jumanji!” While it sounds easy, you’ll quickly learn just how cruel this board game can be. Jumanji the board game is great fun for 2 to 4 players but it’s best enjoyed with a full group of 4. The 1995 film inspired the creation of a board game by the same name so everyone could get in on the wild fun of Jumanji - minus having actual lions chase you or being attacked by giant bugs and evil hunters. Before Jumanji was an action packed comedy featuring Kevin Hart and The Rock, it was a 90s classic featuring Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst. The simplicity and joy of board games can easily go unappreciated but the new Jumanji movie reboot has some consumers wanting to revisit the 90s.
