Jumanji Board Game with Video Centrepiece for Families and Kids aged over 8

Family love it! Bought it after seeing a basic version in a shop, glad I paid a little more and went for the interactive version it does make the game fun for the kids and adults.Board and pieces are great quality doesn't feel overly cheap.Game is quite simple but does provide a bit of a challenge with the riddles, our 6 year old can work them out with a bit of a prompt. Not overly long to play either like some gamesThe activities to do alongside the riddles are hilarious, I once had to sit under the table for the remainder of the game 😂

Really enjoy this board game. I have played with my kids (6 years old) a couple of times and they enjoy it too. It involves working together as a team which is nice for a change instead of competing and there being losers so avoids tantrums! I definitely think it’s better having the deluxe version, having the green dome which plays music and visual riddles appear make it more exciting and more like the film.

The physical game board is great with the screen centre and sound effects, well put together and enjoyable to playThe riddles are quite difficult to get anywhere near the right answer at timesHowever the challenge cards are fun and creativeYou can easily simplify the gameplay if you have younger children playing tooIt’s good but I don’t think we will be playing it as frequently as other board games

We bought this game, having already the classic jumanji game. There are some good features that made for us this version the best of all (apart from the collector version):- The size is similar to the one in the movie (the previous electronic prop replica was smaller)- The player's counters were figures, which is more realistic in comparison with regular colour counters- The box plays drums and music when you open it- The central dome iluminates and riddles appear randomly when you press it like magic- It includes a deck of challenge cards that makes more fun to play- The tokens that emulate the lives players have like the Jumanji sequels.- Nice carved artwork on the boxHowever, there are details that could have been improved and left down the overall evaluation of Jumanji deluxe:- Box being made of plastic instead of wood- The carved artwork would have looked amazing painted in colours instead of a brown uniform tone that only emphasizes the fact of being plastic made- Tokens are not very sturdy and perhaps could have been made of a more durable material ( or maybe interactive cards that you could change the number of lives on display. I think the collectors edition has this)- Symbols on the dices are not very clear what they are and there isn't any description of their meaning on the instructions.- The counters were a bit of disappointment because when they did well in making figures, they failed when giving all rhinos figures in different colours. They should have made a different animal for each colour like the movie ( monkey, elephant, rhino and crocodile). So we are not playing with these but with a replica set of figures we bought from an independent artist.- The deck of cards is a plus, but a bit messy having all cards extended on the table to be able searching for the right one to solve the riddle. It takes too much room.- The packaging box where the game came it doesn't have a plastic cover and is open which is not very convenient for storing the game away and prevent scratches when piling up with other boardgames, so you have to find a place for it that doesn't involve putting something on top.Saying all this, I'm still thinking this version is much better than the electronic mini replica, the classic boardgame with the manual decoder, or the previous wooden deluxe version with the decoder). The best proof of this is my son convinced that it is the real game of the movie. He was very impressed with the sound and the dome effects. However, it is difficult to complaint if you consider the price you pay. In summary, I would recommend this deluxe version for those who want to experiment a real feel of the game like the movie without breaking the bank. But if you are after a more faithful replica, I would definitely pay 3 times the price for the collectors edition which is more accurate.

Well made. True to the film/game. True the noise module is set to very loud but in a darker room it is very atmospheric. My children love to pick up and play this game and we have used it multiple times with different outcomes each time. A must for fans of the film. Only wish would be a magnetic board for the pieces. Have fun with this I bought one and have thought it excellent

Was a bit confusing to play, think we need toPlay again to get our heads round it

The game tries to provide you a "real" Jumanji experience, and it's probably as close as you could possibly get.It's pretty good fun. The riddles are not too hard to solve but are not too easy either and the challenges can be quite amusing.The sound is fairly loud, but I think it's a good thing as if it were too quite and hard to hear it would take away from the fun.Game time for 2 players took about half an hour, so it's not a long game, but obviously with more players it will be longer and it probably also depends on how long you take to complete a challenge or riddle too.

This game is amazing. It’s for Xmas for my son but I had to have a play, it’s going to bring so much joy to my 6 year old as it looks so magical x
