Jungle Cruise (engl.)

Description

Attention Skippers! A family seeks an experienced skipper for a safe and speedy voyage along a perilous jungle river to the Jungle Navigation Company Headquarters. Alberta Falls, the company’s esteemed owner, will soon announce one of four families as temporary caretakers before going on sabbatical—and your family is in the running! Keep us on board, and we’ll do the same for you. Payment depends on the arrival of cargo and passengers, preferably in one piece.

Disney Jungle Cruise Adventure Game is a mystery and deduction game inspired by the famous Disney Parks attraction. Players take on the role of intrepid skippers transporting valuable cargo and families of passengers through the jungle to the company’s headquarters. Along the way, they gather clues to discover which family might be appointed caretakers—passengers from that family earn more points at the end of the game. Players also collect lost passengers and cargo while navigating dangers that threaten to lose them in the jungle. The skipper who transports the most valuable cargo by the end of the game wins.

On each turn, players roll a movement die and move their boat forward accordingly. They then draw Navigation cards, each featuring a danger rating, a targeted boat section, and a hazardous encounter—ranging from hippos to giant butterflies and ducks. Each card also includes a fitting pun.

Players resolve as many Navigation cards as spaces moved. For each, they roll encounter dice equal to the danger rating. For every "!" symbol rolled, one passenger or cargo is removed from the indicated boat section. If unsatisfied with the roll, players may use a Warning Shot to reroll.

On later turns, players can collect “Lost & Found” tokens by landing on river spaces if there is room on their boat. These tokens allow players to recover lost passengers or cargo. Stopping at Outposts lets players reload Warning Shots and pick up additional cargo or passengers. Some routes also lead to Clue spaces, revealing families that were not chosen by Alberta.

When the first player reaches Headquarters, they earn a tip token. Once all players arrive, the new caretakers are revealed, and players tally their scores. Passengers from the appointed caretaker family are worth extra points. The skipper with the highest score, meaning the most valuable cargo, wins the game!
