Jungle Speed is a card game created by Thomas Vuarchex and Pierric Yakovenko in 1991.
A wooden (or rubber) cylinder called a Totem is placed in the center of the table, equidistant from all players.
Asmodee released a new edition in 2011 with an updated design for the cards and, in some markets, a plastic totem for added safety.
A variety of common but unofficial house rules exist for the original Jungle Speed game.
A Jungle Speed video game developed by Canadian studio Next Level Games and published by Playful Entertainment was released on Nintendo Wii's WiiWare service in North America on January 12, 2009, and in the PAL regions on March 13, 2009.
The Wii version of the game has received fairly positive reviews, garnering a Metacritic score of 76/100.
