This is a thrilling board game that tests your strategic thinking abilities and can be played against a companion.
Jungle Chess is an exciting board game that is perfect for players who enjoy a challenge to their strategic thinking skills. The game is played against a friend and involves various pieces that must be protected from being captured or caught in traps in the jungle.
At the start of the game, each player begins with one of each of the following pieces: rat, cat, wolf, dog, panther, tiger, lion, and elephant. Each of these pieces corresponds to a value between 1 and 8, respectively. The objective of the game is to take turns moving each piece one square either horizontally or vertically.
To capture an opponent's piece, you must move onto a square occupied by that same piece. However, a piece can only be captured by another piece with an equal or greater value. There are a few exceptions to this rule. For instance, an elephant can be captured by a rat as long as it isn't jumping from a water square.
When a piece is captured, it animates into the animal it represents and makes realistic sounds. If a piece lands in a trap, it can also be captured by any of the opponent's pieces. Only the rat can occupy a water square, and while it is in the water, it can be captured only by the opponent's rat.
In addition, only the tiger and the lion can jump over water. If they jump over water and land on an opponent's piece of equal or lesser value, that piece is captured. The game is won by moving one of your pieces into your opponent's den or by capturing all of your opponent's pieces.
Overall, Jungle Chess is a fun and challenging game that is suitable for players aged nine and above. It is one of the three exciting games included in the 'Strategy Challenges Collection 2: In the Wild'. Try Jungle Chess today and put your strategic thinking skills to the test.
