About this board game

Jump Masters is a competitive skirmish game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 45 minutes. Inspired by Chinese checkers, it combines easy-to-learn jumping with tactical hero battles in a colorful arena.

Each player drafts a team of heroes, then takes turns moving them through the arena by jumping. Jump over a friendly hero to gain energy, or leap over an opposing hero to attack. Attacks reduce the energy of both heroes until one is defeated, turning every jump into a potential risk or opportunity.

Careful planning can make a single turn much more powerful. Chain multiple jumps together to reposition heroes, build energy, and launch attacks across the arena. Every hero also has a unique ability, so choosing the right combination during the draft—and using those abilities effectively—is central to your strategy.

  • Draft a team of heroes with distinct abilities.
  • Jump over allies to gain energy.
  • Jump over opponents to attack and reduce energy.
  • Use chained jumps and terrain to shape each turn.
  • Defeat opposing heroes to gain victory points.

Terrain adds another layer of tactical decision-making. It may block your movement or empower your heroes, so the arena itself can change how you approach an attack or escape a dangerous position.

Be the first player to collect the required amount of victory points by defeating opponents, and you will be declared the Jump Master. With its blend of drafting, positioning, energy management, unique hero powers, and direct player conflict, Jump Masters rewards bold moves and thoughtful planning.
