‘Danger lurks at every turn and on every turn, as you embark upon this epic adventure. The description of Jumanji: The Game read as follows:
Instead of a carved wooden box, the game utilised a standard gaming board, and instead of a real-life jungle setting, well, let’s say that players had to use their imaginations a lot more. The game – appropriately titled Jumanji: The Game – took design elements from the movie, but was more simplistic in approach. However, the movie did inspire a game, which hit toy shelves in the 1990s to coincide with the release of the movie. Jumanji is not based on a game it is based on a picture book by Chris Van Allsburg.
