"Jumanji" itself in the original book, is located in the game-board's goal space: a city of golden buildings and towers that is surrounded by a deep, dark jungle and acts as the end space on the game-board. "Jumanji" also has heavy rainfall and even volcanic activity, playing a pivotal role in the natural world, tending to be hostile with matters of catastrophic consequences for anyone and anything unable to adapt to survive.
Overview[]
To begin, players start in the deepest jungle, rolling the dice to move their token along fixed pathways, towards the final goal space which is "Jumanji" itself, a city of golden buildings and towers. Once the winning player lands their token on the Golden City, they must call out the name of the city and consequently the game to win and undo the exciting consequences.
Wildlife[]
Large or small, predator or prey, "Jumanji" animals are traditionally known to display a highly aggressive nature for the sake of their own survival and to enable a more fantastic gaming experience. The natural world consists of mainly an animal kingdom that can be identified with African or Indian game. As the player(s) roll closer to the Golden City, the spaces read more dangerous messages, on an environmental scale.

History[]
When Judy Shepherd and Peter Shepherd discovered the abandoned "Jumanji" board game in the park, they took it home to play. As per the rules, whoever started in the deepest darkest jungle and finally reached the Golden City of "Jumanji", and called the name out would be the winner. Until Judy finally reached the Golden City and called out the name, the game's manifested consequences kept coming and coming but quickly vanished and everything was undone.
