For those who fondly remember the 1986 game Fireball Island, with its innovative use of marbles rolling down paths on a 3D board to create physical challenges, there's a modern alternative that captures the same excitement at a more affordable price. The 2018 revival, Fireball Island: The Curse of Vul-Kar, might have been a bit of a letdown, but fans of such mechanics can find a similar thrill in Jumanji Stampede, now available at a discounted price of just $9.06 on Amazon. That's less than the cost of a typical lunch!

Jumanji Stampede is an engaging cooperative board game where players navigate a 3D island, uncovering tokens that trigger the drawing of cards, which can have positive or negative effects, or lead to finding crystals essential for winning. The goal is to return these crystals to their designated spots before a villain figure, controlled by dice rolls, reaches the mountaintop. This creates an exciting race against time, making it an excellent choice for family game nights or as a fun board game for kids.
The game's highlight is the dynamic hazards scattered across the island. Boulders roll down paths, and animals launch from trees or hideaways, potentially knocking over player figures and causing them to lose life bars. These elements add a layer of tension and unpredictability that keeps everyone on the edge of their seats.
While Jumanji Stampede may not be a contender for awards in the serious gaming community, it excels at delivering a lively, fast-paced experience that appeals to the playful side in everyone. It combines eye-catching components with a game that's quick to play and full of surprises, without overstaying its welcome.
