Jungo – Beat the Play, Keep the Cards, Empty Your Hand 🃏🍌

One simple rule and plenty of tricky choices – Jungo is a quick card game for friends and families with older kids who like a bit of tactics.

In this card game for 3 to 5 players aged 10 and up, you try to be the first to get rid of all your cards. The catch: you may never change the order of the cards in your hand. On your turn, beat the combination on the table with adjacent cards of the same value from your hand – or draw a card instead.

🔒 No Sorting Allowed

Cards stay exactly where they are in your hand, so you plan around the order you have got.

💪 Stronger Wins

Beat the last play with more cards, or with the same number of cards of a higher value.

🤔 Keep It or Toss It?

After beating a combination, add those cards to your hand – anywhere you like – or discard them. A bigger hand means better combos… and a longer way to victory.

🍌 Call "Jungo!"

Can't or don't want to play? Draw a card. If it is strong enough, you can play it on the spot with a "Jungo".

🔁 Quick Rematches

Games are fast, so you can play to two wins, as the rules suggest. Find more short games among our card games.
