About this board game
Jungle Ascent is a 30-minute racing game for 2–4 players, challenging expeditions to build a path up the perilous Cliff of Frab and claim an incredible treasure.
Deep in the mysterious Oobydoobies jungle, your group has discovered a prize said to grant its owner amazing power. Unfortunately, no one wants to share. Each player must use supplies, clever tactics, and ancient magic to climb toward the treasure before the other expeditions.
Build a pathway up the cliff using useful construction pieces, including ladders, bridges, and conveyor belts. The route to the summit is dangerous, however, and opponents can be knocked back by hazards designed to make the ascent even more perilous.
- Race to the top of the Cliff of Frab.
- Construct your route with ladders, bridges, and conveyor belts.
- Use hazards such as Fireballs and Crushers to send opponents tumbling down.
- Play action cards such as Speed Juice and Construction to make the climb easier.
Jungle Ascent combines path building with direct interference as players compete for the lead. Crush, roast, or explode your opponents, then keep advancing while they struggle to recover their position.
The first player to scale to the top of the Cliff of Frab claims its untold treasures and wins the game. With its vivid jungle setting, perilous climb, and mix of construction, hazards, and action cards, Jungle Ascent turns a race for treasure into a chaotic ascent.
