[h3]New Card-based Gameplay[/h3]

Draw from a hand of three cards. Every time you draw a card, your hand will reshuffle, so you’ll have to think fast with every draw.

New multi-item cards are now hidden in your deck. Each has the ability to deal more damage and vanquish jungle dangers in a single blow!

New shield cards allow you to protect yourself or your team from creeping vines or incoming attacks.

New Assist cards can extend the time of the encounter, or reveal a danger’s weakness. Play the “flashlight” card to work out which items will be most effective against each danger.

[h3]Improve Your Deck[/h3]

Whenever you face jungle wildlife you’ll earn gold coins. Spend your coins on new cards and strengthen your deck throughout the game.

Buy basic cards at the end of each round, or save up and buy more powerful cards after a few encounters.

[h3]New Modes and Types of Danger[/h3]

In Survival Mode you face new types of danger in one single encounter! Face “Angry” and “Alpha” dangers with different tactics and defeat them before everyone gets trapped in vines!

This update brings ever-changing gameplay to Jumanji. So raise those shields and work together to defeat the jungle before it takes over the town! Play now!

A game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind!

The holidays are upon us and the Winter Resort Map is here, ready to be explored! Roll the dice, read the riddles, and set the Jumanji jungle loose in a winter valley.

Add AJ the Scandinavian snowboarder to you team, along with the joyful Yuki Sato. Select from your existing tokens, plus the Snow Leopard and Mountain Bear! Face crocodiles, elephants and carnivorous plants, as well as a brand new danger native to the mountain landscapes.

It’s a high altitude, casual, co-op adventure for 4 players. Be careful or the jungle drums could cause an avalanche!

Three weeks ago, JUMANJI: The Curse Returns launched on mobile with brand new features, and now those features are available on Steam!

Cross-Platform Gaming
From now, you can play the game together across PC, iOS and Android!

New Gameplay Features Include:

• Multi-items hidden in your deck that deal x2 or x3 more damage in a single blow - will you choose to banish a threat that’s almost defeated, or deplete another to maximise the item’s full potential?
  
  
  
  
• New Shield - Protect yourself or your team members from creeping vines or incoming attacks from the hunter, Van Pelt. You can choose to use straight away, or hold up to three ready for an emergency.
  
  
  
  
• Improved Timer with a clearly visible Progress Bar - Made out of vines that spread across the top of the screen, this new Progress Bar pulses and grows with every passing second.
  

New Encounter Modes - summon encounters with unique objectives and test your skills!

• Defeat Key Dangers - For example defeat 3 Elephants and 5 Rhinos in 50 seconds.
  
  
  
  
• Beat the Alpha Danger - For example: use your tokens to defeat the Alpha Elephant (see “danger types” below) and stop the Stampede in 40 seconds.
  
  
  
  
• Survival - Face a set of angry dangers and defeat them all before everyone gets trapped in vines.
  

New Danger Types

• Alpha Danger - Can only be defeated using magic tokens.
  
• Angry Danger - Comes with a timer which, when it reaches 0, increases +1 Jumanji-threat-level to all players.
  

This update brings a whole lot more to the game! Put up your shield and face the new danger types and encounter modes with your friends on PC, iOS, and Android! Play now!
