Jumanji the Board Game
Play Jumanji to feel the beating heart of the jungle, the stiflingly humid hot air, listen to the caper of the monkeys and the buzzing of the giant mosquitoes as they swarm around you. If you get sucked into the game, fear not for if a player rolls a 5 or an 8, you will be released, just like Alan was.
This game is the most screen accurate and finely crafted version of a Jumanji Board Game on the market, created by a professional woodwork artist who used dozens of photos of the actual movie prop to painstakingly recreate the board game from the movie Jumanji.
The Jumanji board is crafted from 100% African mahogany wood, solidly build to feel like the real thing, it is then carefully assembled, the wood is stained to give it a more authentic old wood look and then hand painted to recreate the magical board game from the movie, it has the heft and feel of the actual movie prop.
As in the movie, the game comes with a pair of dice and 4 tokens, each of the tokens are carefully sculpted and then cast in resin after which they are painted, the tokens are representations’ of an Elephant, Crocodile, Monkey and Rhino, as in the movie they are a stylized version of the animals.
This set is not one of those flimsy plastic knockoffs that fall apart at the drop of a hat, this solidly build game is as close to the prop as a fan of the movie is liable to find, this is a must buy collectible that the whole family will enjoy playing.
