A simple, fast-paced trick-taking game with a twist. Like everything Paper releases, it's a great addition to your collection because it's small and easy to store.

Jungo
Jungo is an exciting card game where players must leverage their combinations, outplay opponents, and empty their hand to win. Only those who know when to take risks and when to pass will prevail!
From a deck of 64 cards, with eight copies each of 1-8, players get a hand of cards that they cannot rearrange. The starting player leads a card or set of cards with the same value — but they can play multiple cards only if the cards are adjacent to one another in their hand. If cards have been played on the table, to play you must play the same number of cards with a higher value or a larger set of cards, e.g., 2 < 5 < 3,3 < 6,6 < 2,2,2 < 1,1,1,1. When you overplay someone, you can pick up the cards you beat and add them to your hand where you wish, or you can discard them.
If you cannot or choose not to play, you must pass, drawing a card from a facedown pile; each card has two values on it, e.g., 1/2 or 5/6, and can be played as either number. You either add this card to your hand where you wish, discard it, or — calling on the law of the "jungo" — play it immediately as part of a combination from your hand that beats what's on the table.
If all but one player pass, clear the table, with the player who last played leading to an empty table.
Whoever first empties their hand wins!

Quick, easy and fun to play. A friend owns the game and brought it to share with us. Was easy to learn even with kids! Fun was had by all.
I really like how easy it is to pick up and play either with 1v1 or with a group. Easy for kids and adults to play together. This would be one of my top picks for an fun time.
This is a super filler game! If you like Trio or Scout, grab a copy of Jungo! The rules are so simple and pure, but they're a lot of meaningful decisions to be made in every round. The game is mercifully free of any "take that" moments, but your strategy hinges on other player's decisions so it feels very interactive.
J’ai eu un vrai coup de cœur pour Jungo !! C’est clairement le jeu qui peut se garder dans la poche et se jouer en 5 minutes avec n’importe qui vu la simplicité des règles. Toutes les parties sont différentes et s’enchainent sans que l’on voit le temps passer. Je pense m’origamiser une petite boite plus adaptée à la taille des cartes pour l’avoir toujours sur moi ! https://undecent.fr/2025/03/25/test-jungo/
