Jungle Speed is a lightning-fast card game for the entire family, where quick reflexes and a keen eye will put you on top. Flip your cards, watch your opponents and grab the totem at the right moment to win the game. Just when you think you've got it down, a new card can temporarily change the rules and keep you on the edge. Play starts when the first person flips a card. Moving around the table, symbols are revealed until two of the exposed cards match. Players with matching cards must then scramble to grasp the totem in the middle of the table; the loser gets the winner's cards and anything in the pot. With paws flying, be the first person to get rid of all your cards and win the game.

How does this unique card game of quick thinking and reflexes translate to WiiWare?
For those of you out there who aren't familiar with it, Jungle Speed is a unique card game that's recently become quite popular among card game fans. It’s essentially one of the "first one to get rid of all their cards" style and not only..

Sounds good, but only if it's cheap, because it likely won't entertain for long.

Wow. This sounds like a unique idea and with enough modes, this could be great, even!

I really love the original game, it's pretty hectic and fun to play with friends. I don't think it will really work as a game though...

Rats, not the kind of speed I was looking for. I'm not really interested in this.

I wholeheartedly welcome this game to the WiiWare service. Let's hope more Board Games are brought to WiiWare!!
I hope the reviewer keeps an open mind about the game.
Pricing makes sense when you consider the price of the Board Game itself but if it were 800, I'd get it in a snap.

Yep, they thought very highly of it as did other sources.
@lujo: I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! I've always wanted to try the Board game, myself. The WiiWare version is a lot of fun.

I got this game and it’s a lot of fun to play with the entire family.
If you have family and friends to play with then you gotta get this game.
If you don't then skip this game single player is OK but gets boring rather fast. This is mostly a multi-player game.
