RavensburgerDisney Jungle Cruise Adventure Game for Ages 8 & Up - Amazon Exclusive

This is one of my favorite Disney games. I love the ride, and this brings the Disney Magic home. It is a simple game to learn. I love that they have so many jokes - from the rides and bonus extras, too!

We preordered this game, really excited for it after loving Villainous and craving more Disney fun. It didn’t disappoint. It has the right objective to make it “feel” like the jungle cruise, and even has classic jungle cruise jokes and puns throughout the game.We felt it was very easy to learn, even for kids. It has a simple mystery aspect like Clue and simple dice rolling/card drafting to avoid the perils of the river. There are different strategies to employ, but really you could just go through the motions and still have a shot at winning. It’s all the luck of the dice.We thought the materials were very high quality. The dice especially are weighted nicely and even appear like they were found on the Jungle Cruise which is fun!All in all it’s well worth the price and something we will always enjoy playing when Disney fever sets in.

The game has some very strong elements. The board is well crafted and sturdy. The art style and layout is very true to the ride. The puns and jokes, for fans of the namesake ride, are spot on. I agree with other reviews that the jokes can get repetetive on multiple playthroughs, but if you've been on the ride more than a few times you've heard them all anyway. They are charmingly stupid jokes, and it's just fun to roll your eyes and go with it.Set-up is quick but there are quite a few pieces to track. Gameplay seems more complicated than it really is initially, but once you get the flow you can start to develop something akin to a strategy. If you are a fan of the awesome Villainous series of games by the same company, this doesn't approach that level of strategy or complexity. My 7 almost 8 year old started to get the hang of the game after a few turns.Overall a fun little game. Not something I'll play all the time, but it is one I'll bust out once in a while when I need a stupid laugh or want to experience the silliness of the ride from home.

This game is simple enough to learn and the concept is unique enough to not feel boring or overdone. Really enjoyable for my family, some of whom were previously Skippers. My Skipper family members wonder if the people who worked on the writing in this game are also “retired” Skippers based on style and certain sentiments in the rules. It really seems like the writers knew their stuff about the ride this game is based off of.We also have the Ravensburger Jurassic Park and Jaws games and those are both also really enjoyable. It seems like Ravensburger always does a great job of making games that are unique and vastly different than other games in our collection.If I was told I had to make one change to this game, it would be the same change I’d make to many of my favorites; I’d love to be able to play with more than four players without having to do “teams” or having someone sit out until the next round.

I'm a big Disney parks fan so I enjoy finding games related to the park attractions. They are fun to play with family. This Jungle Cruise Game looks like it will be lots of fun too.

If you’ve ridden the jungle cruise enough to appreciate the appalling jokes, you’ll appreciate this game. I’ve played it twice with my 9-year-old and 7-year-old and we love it. Nice mix of strategy (which passengers are you going to throw out of the boat first?), luck (how much danger will you have to face?) and terrible humor. First game was a bit long (2 hours) while we learned to play, second game more like 90 mins. Nice board and tokens. Heartily recommend.

Like many games once everyone knows the rules it is pretty straight forward, you should understand most of the rules after your first play through, if you have any experience with other strategy board games.It is fun with just enough strategy, the passengers that are worth the most points changes each game and is a mystery to the players early and based off of your luck with rolling die helps to lead you in the direction of trying to maintain your passangers on board or if going for sets of cargo makes more sense.Overall I see enough replay value for us to enjoy this for a while, you do go through the jokes after the first game, but they are lightharted and themed to the jungle cruise ride, some of which I have heard in person on the ride.

The jokes are funny, but you usually get through them multiple times which ends up making them less fun near the end of the game. It also takes quite a bit of time to play, which adds to the slog. Everything in the game is chance base, so there is not too much room for strategy. Probably wont want to play it again for a long time.
