Description
Jungo is a set-collection card game in which you try to be the first player to get rid of your cards.From a deck of 64 cards, with eight copies each of 1 to 8, players are dealt a hand of cards that they may not rearrange. The starting player plays a card or a set of cards of the same value – but can only play multiple cards if they are next to each other in their hand. If cards have been played on the table, to play you must play the same number of cards of a higher value or a larger set of cards, e.g. 2 < 5 < 3, 3 < 6, 6 < 2, 2, 2 < 1, 1, 1, 1. When you lay down your cards, you may pick up or discard the cards that were previously on the table.If you can't or choose not to play, you must pass by taking a card from the face-down deck; some cards have two values, e.g. 1/2 or 5/6, and can be played as either number. You can add this card to your hand wherever you like, discard it, or – invoking the law of the "jungo" – play it immediately as part of a combination from your hand that beats what is on the table.If all players but one pass, clear the table, and the player who played last starts a new round.Whoever empties their hand first wins! Since the game is short, you can play several rounds, with the first player to win two rounds winning the game.
