Thank you! Appreciate you saying that. I’m going to start making some new videos in the near future.

Thanks!

​@@theboardgameevolution8909 I have a DISTINCT memory of watching the TV ad for this game when it came out (apparently, I was about 10 years old). I have thought of it on multiple occasions and showed the ad to my kids. They were amused.

That’s a great addition to your collection! Those components are definitely display worthy.

Really? My copy is still pretty good about shaking any explorers that aren't well secured on the bridge, and even when secured they can still lose their jewel.

That’s great to hear. It’s such a fun game to play. Really looking forward to the reprint as well!

That would be awesome!! I would be first in line to watch it!

It was a fun game to play growing up. It's still fun today!

The only way to stop them is to chase them down in a canoe and attempt to steal a jewel from their backpack if your backpack is empty. If they have a big lead and you are on the bridge, maybe try and situate yourself so you can fall from the bridge shaking and land close to your canoe. It would take some lucky rolls! To win the game you do not have to land on the finish space by exact count.

1. You can turn around and move towards a new jewel regardless of distance. Just remember that you can only move in one direction at the start of each of your turns as long as it's in the direction of a jewel. 2. Your turn will end on the beach space when returning to your canoe with a second jewel (turns only end on this space when returning jewels). Hope this helps!

Happy to hear you found this video and are going to track one down! It's still a really fun game to play!

I 100% used more as a toy with my action figures especially after watching Indiana Jones movies as a kid

Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed this video. We are going to be releasing more of these videos over the next few months.

While in a canoe you can steal a jewel from an opponent's backpack as long as your backpack is empty. The jewel in the bottom of a canoe cannot be stolen. In order to steal a jewel on the river, you must be in the same river space as them after rolling jewel on the picture die. Chances are this situation will occur if someone has two jewels (one in the canoe and one in the backpack) and they are on the river heading to the finish space. Hope this helps!

@@theboardgameevolution8909 if you are headed back in the river, you have 2 jewels. Unless someone starts a new game, you wont land on the same place in the river whom does not have 2 jewels. So how can a jewel be stolen on the river? The odds of moving less than 5 places before the other person gets 2 jewels and back on the river for meeting in the same place on the river with an empty backpack is not likely.

Glad I could help!!! Thanks for the message!

You would be able to go beyond them as long as you were initially moving towards them on your turn. (example: Your opponent is 2 spaces away and you roll a 4. You turn would end your turn 2 spaces in front of them). That is definitely a good move to make!!

Yes. To clarify, if you roll a jewel and you are already on the same space as an opponent with a jewel, you can steal it and then move or you have to land on your opponent's space by exact count.

Yes! You are exactly right. When picking up a fallen jewel, collecting one from the Idol, or returning a jewel to the boat you do not continue your movement. You will stay in that space until your next turn.

Uh oh!! I would be happy to help end a family dispute…haha! 1. If your explorer falls off the bridge it stays on the ground. On your next turn stand up your explorer and place it in the space closest to where it’s head was. You can refer to 5:45 in the video for clarification. 2. You are in luck if the gem remains in your backpack after taking a fall like that. You can continue on your next turn to the canoe from which the space you landed in. The same applies for if you are in the same space as a fallen jewel. Place it in your backpack on your next turn and head for the canoe. I hope this helps!!

@@theboardgameevolution8909 my son won the game all because he fell with both of his jewels 🙄🙄

The reissue instructions clarify this. Unless you have a gem in your backpack, you must travel towards a gem. You can travel towards a gem on the ground, or on the idol. So if you fall, go pick up your gem and take to the canoe. It’s a shorter trip but you risk losing it in the water.

I haven’t come across that issue with the idol yet. There are replacement idols listed on eBay right now if you don’t have any luck repairing yours.

Definitely one of our favorites too! To your question, I would say at this point, the jewel would be out of play and would be returned back to the idol.

You actually have to cut the bridge in half then fight a bald guy with a tattooed head for the bag while dangling above crocodiles and chanting bubba Sparks kali ma

The reissue of this game tells you to place the jewel in the closest jungle space

is there a specific rule you are confused with that we can help you with?

There is no specific rules for the jewel coming out of the idols hand. That would become a house rule but I think it would be best to just return the jewel to the idol. For the second question, if the fallen player still maintains possession of the jewel their backpack, they can proceed to the canoe. Hope that helps out.

Glad you enjoyed the video. The bridge is not battery operated. Its a mechanical bridge that when you push the idol down it, shakes the bridge for a short amount of time. Almost like the mechanics in a cooking timer you would crank up and it runs on its own.

That's great you have the original game and get to share it with another generation of gamers! So cool!

It’s also an expensive game so don’t throw it out the original is worth good money

How cool and special. I was 1 when this came out lol!

If you can find a original at a decent price, its such a fun game. They also just re-released it at Target which is pretty cool.

Its one of our favorite classics! Definitely not weird at all.....aren't we all just kids trapped in adult bodies wanting to play games? Target just released this game if interested. A little cheaper price point then an original 92' version.

Thank you!

Thanks!
