Featured crowdfunding game
JUNGLE WAR
Jungle War is three games in one, and inspired by one of the designers time involved in teaching. The titular Jungle War is a set collection game, Jungle Memory is a pair matching game, and Jungle Series is based on four-of-a-kind. It looks like an ideal game to play with younger children, and could be used to introduce them to concepts like finding pairs and collecting sets.
This is the first project from the creators, Amir Malka, Gal Avi Azugi and Bar Toledano. While they seem to have the game itself well in hand, they appear to be over-estimating their abilities to produce and deliver. Estimated reward deliveries are April and May of this year, while under risks and challenges they state “Looking at our project, we don’t see any risks possible.” If they can deliver to the period stated, without running into issues, I’m sure there will be many impressed people.
There is 26 days to go on the campaign, currently with AUD$2,173 backed of a AUD$12,000 pledge goal.
