The game "Jumanji" is the main plot subject in two films of the same name. The adventures of the main characters in her amazing world were so liked by the audience that the producers created real desktop entertainment based on the cinema. The connection of the game with the tapes and the real version is written in the article.
First movie
The game "Jumanji" in the 1995 film of the same name appears from the very beginning. The first scene shows teenagers who bury a chest, and inside it lies. A hundred years later, Alan Parrish, by strange sounds from the earth, locates the game and digs it out. Together with the girl Sarah, they decide to play this adventure. The very first move made a condition that one of the players would be thrown into the jungle until 5 or 8 fell out. Alana sucks in and Sarah runs away from the sudden attack of bats. After 26 years, "Jumanji" find new children - Peter and Judy. They decide to play, which leads to many misfortunes that have fallen on their heads.
Second movie
In 2017, the painting "Jumanji: Call of the Jungle" was released, where the plot was quite strongly interpreted as a modern viewer. The plot takes place in a scene where four teenagers are forced to stay after school and clear the school basement as a punishment. There they find an old set-top box with a TV and start the game "Jumanji". She immediately pulls them into the unknown world of the jungle with many dangers. Each of the characters has transformed into a kind of “avatar” with its own strengths and weaknesses. This world will not release them until they pass all the tests and meet the main rival. Here the board game turns into a video game with all the attendant circumstances. Adventures are made in brighter colors, the inner world of the game is fraught with various dangers for the lives of the main characters, but they are not deprived of their abilities. Their “avatars” are versed in archeology, cartography, firearms, raft building and other aspects. The disadvantages of each of them imposed by the game are also available.
The essence of the game
If in the second film with the game "Jumanji" everything is clear, and the details are revealed from the first minutes, then in the first film everything is much deeper. The teenagers, although they read the rules, but not to the end, and did not believe what was written on the side surfaces of the board. Each new move created a certain action, guided by the inscription in the magic ball. For example, after a five fell out, a lion appeared in the house, but at the same time Alan returned from the jungle to his native world. After several moves, poisonous mosquitoes, a group of monkeys and other tropical animals appeared in the house. They escaped into the city and began to destroy everything there. The only way to fix it was to play it to the end.
The game as a magical item keeps in touch with another world where technology and civilization do not exist. Wildlife and its laws reign there, which many viewers liked. Unfortunately, games about "Jumanji" in digital format have not appeared. Perhaps after a successful rental sequel, the developers will think about this thought.
Real desktop version
Even after the success of the first film, some American companies immediately began to develop a real desktop version of the game. They managed to make an almost identical copy with a carved wooden coating and a brief description of the rules from two sides. The most interesting solution is the soundtrack in the form of African tom-toms, which intrigued the audience at the beginning of the film. Inside there is a field with a magic ball and bones. Special attention should be paid to the top decoration with images of animals and incredible style. A similar edition came out in a limited edition, but a simpler version of the entertainment can be found on the shelves. The game "Jumanji" on the PC, meanwhile, remains an unfulfilled dream for all fans of the film.
