Thames & KosmosJungle Party Game

The board is great and very sturdy. The game is fun and easy to learn. Great for all ages! I got this for my mom who had a stroke and we are working on her memory she can play this with my grandchildren.

I gave this to my 6 year old grandson for Christmas. It was a very easy set up and learn game. We played three times in an hour. He won two out of the three. It is a game of luck and memory. We only played that one time, but he was already getting the fact that you have to remember which tiles go under the bridge. It is fast and fun. I believe he would be able to play with his friends without me being there. It will be a good rainy day game to get out, if the weather is bad and he has guests over.

Fast to learn, a nice twist on classic memory based games. Quality of game pieces is great, set up is superfast and all game pieces fit perfectly in box for storage. 6 year old loves this game.

After reading and rereading the instructions, and attempting to play, and rereading and rereading the instructions again, and having my child ask me why were weren't playing... (because I still didn't know how to) ...I became very frustrated with this game. Is it intolerably difficult? No, likely not. The instructions are just not specific enough for someone who is reading them literally to exactly understand what to do. If you enjoy "figuring things out on the fly" you'll probably get it (as most of the reviewers seemed to), but I couldn't get past trying to figure out exactly when to move the tiles and what the optimal mechanism for moving them was, and how to best configure the box for initial play. (The instructions seem to ask you to do a couple of things that make no sense unless there is a missing step or something that the designers presume you already understand…) Why couldn't the instructions be more specific? I've played a ton of board games for all ages over the years and I hated trying to figure this one out, especially since I had other games whose instructions were written more clearly. Yes, the basic gist of the game is easy to intuit, but the specific mechanics of initial setup and gameplay were too confusing for me to enjoy with my child waiting fruitlessly beside me to play.So why three stars then? Well, the game looks nice, and the quality is reasonable, and if you can figure out how to play it it likely offers you a quirky alternate version of the typical memory game. I wanted to like this game, but for the life of me I would need to join a game in progress to figure it out. Maybe sometime in the future I will google further instructions, but for now that is not where I want to spend my time.

Received in a timely manner. It is a gift, so I don't yet know how the children will like it, but it looks really fun.

This is a boring game that is uninspired. With all the games out there, pick something else. This is cute with colorful pictures, but the gameplay is tiresome.

Our son insists to play all the time!

I love Thames & Kosmos products.
