SuperKids Software Review of Strategy Challenges Around the World, Collection 2. The games in this collection, however, are less well-known than those in the first collection . Jungle Chess was familiar to some of our reviewers. In this game, the objective is to be the first player to place a piece in your opponent's den.
Pieces represent different jungle animals, and each has different capturing power.
Most are limited to simple one space moves in columns or rows, but several have special abilities, and all of them have different capture powers. For example, lions and tigers can jump over the two water hazards on the board, and the rat can swim. The directions were initially a little difficult for our young reviewers to understand, but after playing several times, they picked them up from observation. Tablut , an old Nordic game, was unfamiliar to our reviewers. Unlike most other board games, in Tablut the opponents start with different numbers of pieces and different objectives.
