Board Game Jungle speed / Arriba

is a fantastic board game requiring cunning and speed. It's a true 5 out of 5 game! The goal of the game is to fetch the stick at the appropriate times only. This is exactly when the card in front of you matches any other card on the table (hence belonging to any other player) in 3 out of 3 categories. This has great resemblence to the board game "Set"
The game seems to be a refurbished version of the board game Arriba which is to be found nowhere anymore.

Jungle Speed as a drinking game

We've had a great time playing Jungle Speed as a drinking game. Here are the rules
  1. If any player make any mistakes you need to drink.
  2. If you didn't manage to get hold of the stick when you had to, you drink
  3. If you manage to get hold of the stick when you didn't have to, you drink
  4. If your card matches any other card on the table you should try to fetch the stick
  5. If your card is a "non-figure card" (e.g. a "all fetch the stick") your card is considered to match when any other match between other players has been found.
  6. If two or more players fetch the stick, its the one with the lowest grip that is ruled to get it first
  7. Players are not allowed to have any body part on the table crossing an invisible line drawn from each neighbour card on the table. Crossing this invisible line is interpreted as trying to grasp the stick, hence requiring the player to drink.
Have fun...
