The premise, in the publisher's words
A game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind… roll the dice, read the riddles and experience the board game from the original 1995 film in a contemporary digital style. The Jumanji game will summon a magical jungle and take over the town — unless you stop it! Face the dangers with your friends and family and prepare for a fun, casual co-op adventure like no other. In every round, you’ll be matching the correct items from your stash with those needed to send the perils back into the board. Time restrictions mean you’ll have to work together to be victorious. You’ll face crocodiles, elephants, rhinos and more, plus creeping jungle vines that will try to ensnare you all…
