About Chiqui Jungla
Have you ever stumbled across a game that feels like you’re on a mini safari in your living room? That’s exactly the vibe Chiqui Jungla brings. The first time I unboxed it, I was charmed by the bright artwork of baby tigers peeking through the trees and parrots flitting across the game board. It instantly feels approachable, especially if you’ve got little ones eager for a playful adventure.
Playing Chiqui Jungla is as simple as it is delightful. On your turn, you draw a card that might send you swinging from vine to vine, gathering juicy fruits, or facing a cheeky monkey challenge. If you get a “Monito Bromista” card, you and the other players have to do a quick memory game—matching pairs of fruit tiles before time runs out. The races to collect sets of mangoes and bananas can get surprisingly competitive, and the whole family ends up roaring with laughter.
What really sold me, though, was how the game balances luck and strategy. You never know when you’ll flip a “Tormenta Tropical” card and have to shuffle all the fruit tokens around, but you can plan ahead by choosing which path through the jungle to take. Plus, the components are sturdy—no flimsy cardboard tokens here—which means even the thorniest little fingers can’t wreck the fun.
By the end of our first playthrough, everyone was already asking for a rematch. Chiqui Jungla doesn’t just entertain; it gives kids a taste of problem-solving, memory skills, and a bit of healthy suspense. It’s perfect for family game nights or for breaking the ice at kids’ birthday parties. Trust me, once you’ve played the jungle guide for a while, you’ll be itching to swing back into the trees and see what new surprises await.
