This Jumanji board game has been designed and created as a fan-made version of the original pastime from the namesake movie from the 90s that aims to deliver a playing experience that is unlike anything else out there.

The board game is rendered with high-quality components that give it an authentic look and feel, which is achieved with wood for the game board itself along with 3D-printed tokens. The real magic of the board game comes alive when players start a round; the [Raspberry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocketfriendly-games-console) Pi-powered system will display information and riddles on the seven-inch TFT display to guide players along.

The Jumanji board game is finished with sensors that will automatically play the iconic drum music from a series of built-in speakers to further accentuate the cinematic authenticity of the game.
