Jungle Speed Donkey Kong – Grab the Banana First 🍌🦍

Dive into banana-filled chaos with Jungle Speed Donkey Kong from Zygomatic! This themed edition of the classic reflex game by Tom & Yako brings Nintendo's iconic ape to the table for 2–8 players aged 7+. A round takes about 15 minutes, and every flip of a card can start a lightning-fast duel.

All 67 cards are dealt out, the barrel goes in the middle with the banana totem on top as a lid, and the small bananas are scattered around it. In turn, players flip a card from their draw pile onto their own discard pile, always turning it away from themselves so everyone sees it at the same time. Play with one hand only! As soon as two players reveal the same symbol, regardless of background colour, they duel. If the totem is on the barrel, the first to grab it wins; if the totem is on the table, the first to drop a small banana into the barrel wins. The loser takes both discard piles. Arrow cards send everyone reaching for the totem at once. Because the totem keeps moving between barrel and table, you must instantly work out which mission applies. You win by getting rid of all your cards, or by holding the fewest cards once the last banana lands in the barrel.
