The game in a minute

Predator or prey, every turn is a gamble

A fast, fierce card game of cunning, luck and wild surprises. Each round one player becomes the hunter and goes after everyone else's animals, in a place the Ring Master picked.

Roll the dice, play your bonus cards at the right moment, and do the animal sound while you roll. Forget it, and you lose three points.

Where the hunt happens

Every place changes who wins

A lion rules the grassland, a crocodile owns the lake. Pick a location to see who gets a boost and who struggles there.

Predators who hunts best here

    Prey who survives best here

      Points from the location are added to the dice roll. Also in the deck: the Mythical Dragon (+3 everywhere) and one Domesticated Sheep, lost in the wild (−3 everywhere).

      How to play

      The rules, in three short chapters

      Everything from the rule book, in plain words. Open a chapter to read it.

      1Set up the jungle
      • Make three face-down piles: animals (predators and prey), bonus cards and locations.
      • The dealer gives every player as many animal cards as there are players, plus 3 bonus cards. The rest of the bonus cards are the draw pile.
      • Another player becomes the Ring Master. They get as many location cards as there are players, look at their animals and lay the locations face up in any order they like. That order decides where each round's hunt happens. For this privilege, the Ring Master always hunts last.
      • Make two discard piles: one for hunted animals, one for used bonus cards. The 4 blank bonus cards are for house rules, or you can take them out.
      2Hunt, roll and bluff
      • Players take turns as the hunter, starting left of the dealer. The hunter must play a predator. No predator in hand? Shout “moooo”, show your cards and swap your whole set of animals.
      • The hunter draws two extra bonus cards. Everyone puts an animal card face down; the others also choose their bonus cards face down.
      • Animals are revealed, then bonus cards. If more than one hunter shows up, each loses 1 point for the round.
      • The hunter picks who to hunt first, second and so on, and may play bonus cards before each roll.
      • Hunter and prey roll their dice while making their animal's sound, or lose 3 points. Score = dice + bonuses + the location effect. If the hunter ties or wins, they take the prey card.
      • When the hunter has tried everyone, a new round starts with a new hunter and the next location. Used bonus cards are shuffled back and everyone draws two new ones.

      Bonus cards are played before the dice are thrown and last one turn:

      Humans in the frayEveryone loses their animals. The round ends.
      InjuredThe other player gets −2.
      Camouflage+1 for that turn, predator or prey.
      AlphaPredator +2.
      Hunting PackPredator counts every successful hunt twice.
      Upwind · FogPredator +1.
      CrowPrey +3.
      Large herdPrey +1 for every animal of the same kind that round.
      Downwind · Hidden DenPrey +1.
      3Count up and crown the king
      • Every hunted prey is 1 point, every hunted predator is 2 points, and every animal still in your hand is 1 point.
      • The game ends when everyone has run out of animals, when food is served, or when two party poopers have to leave early.
      • Highest score wins and is crowned King of the Jungle. Everyone else must call them “Your Excellency” for the rest of the evening.

      Questions

      Good to know

      How many people can play?

      King of the Jungle is for 3 to 6 players. With more players there are more hunts per round, and more noise.

      Is it suitable for children?

      The box says 12 and up. Younger children can easily play on a grown-up’s team: the rules are simple and the animal sounds are their favourite part.

      How long does a game take?

      About 30 minutes. You can stop whenever food is served, that is officially in the rules.

      Where can I buy it?

      On Amazon.in. Use the “Buy on Amazon” button at the top of this page.
