Who will be the next KING of the JUNGLA? The LION Cayden and his KNIGHTS or the TIGER Dhurta with his PIRATES? Board Game for 2 Players.
Game Geeks News are proud to bring you another amazing project currently running on kickstarter. UAO is an Italian company that has operated in children’s entertainment since 2016. With its first game, JUNGLA, the company has entered the world of board game design, development and production. Its mission is to offer the best possible experience thanks to story, graphics and design, allowing players to be fully immersed in the setting and mechanics of the game.
On the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, on the wild, faraway island of JUNGLA, two fearless packs – the KNIGHTS commanded by the powerful LION CAYDEN and the PIRATES led by the cunning TIGER DHURTA – battle for the TAWA HALLAE, the scepter of power of the animal world.
There can ONLY be ONE KING! A terrible struggle is underway to reach the enemy hunting squares. Animals fight duels to the bitter end, in which each animal has unique fighting abilities. Luck won’t decide the outcome of this contest.
Let the battle cry ring out: Brave in the melee, loyal to the KING! Only the side with the most courage, strategy, cunning, and speed will emerge victorious.
Summary of rules:
There are 2 packs, each consisting of 15 animals. Each animal moves in different directions and a specific number of squares depending on its abilities. The direction and number of squares permitted for each move depends on whether the animal starts from a land or a water square. Hit animals are imprisoned and removed from the board. The aim is to take the animals in your pack from the den squares to the enemy hunting squares, achieving a point. The first pack to score 5 points or to imprison all the enemy animals wins.
The JUNGLA game is a true CROWDFUNDING PROJECT and KICKSTARTER was set up for projects just like this one. We are not a wealthy publishing house and WITHOUT YOUR support only a few people will be able to enjoy JUNGLA.
The game was first conceived in 2015, when, together with my sons Giacomo and Tommaso, aged 10 and 6 at the time, we started playing with the animals from Noah’s Ark on a chessboard.
In March 2020, when the pandemic began in Italy and around the world, we had to stay in lockdown. We had days and days to spend at home, so taking this project seriously and making it happen was a way to overcome fear, boredom and discouragement; every member of the family tried to make a contribution.
We asked Lorenzo, a professional illustrator, to bring our characters to life. So, game after game, partly thanks to many suggestions from passionate friends, it all started to take shape. The most recent rule that we introduced was suggested by my youngest son, Andrea, allowing the turtle to score a double point.
Now we are ready to share our fun with you; even if you are many miles away and I do not know you, we will be united through the same passion for the game.
If you like the game, you can have faith that we will definitely be able to produce JUNGLA on a large scale and deliver it to you and everyone in every corner of the earth. We have created a publishing house (UAO GAME) to make this possible.
By backing this campaign you can get your hands on some amazing gifts. We have listed just a few below, so be sure to check out their full list on Kickstarter.
Replacements:
UAO are always happy to replace defective or damaged dice, cards, or other components. All you need to do is send them photos of the damaged item, and ship it back to them and you will receive a replacement of that component.
Replacement requests must be made within 30 days of the date the item was delivered to you. This is UAO`s first Kickstarter, and they have experience in other areas of production, marketing and logistics. Producing thousands of products and coordinating their delivery to homes across the planet is a complex business, and there are many things that could go wrong. This is why they build in as much time for the unforeseen as possible. UAO want to ensure that they have the space to deal with any unexpected setbacks and still get your game to you before the estimated delivery date.
For all of their games, they communicate with their backers with regular updates on Kickstarter You can also find them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Delivery:
Production will be in Italy, and they can check step by step. So they can limit:
Production delays.
The estimated delivery date for this project is December 2021, before Christmas, but please bear in mind this is only an estimate. Also, due to the logistics of international shipping, backers in different regions of the world may receive their rewards sooner than others.
