How skillful of an elephant can you prove yourself to be? Can you pick up only what you're instructed — and more importantly, can you do it faster than anyone else? In Bubble Jungle, a.k.a. Tricky Trunks, each player has a plastic elephant device that includes a long tube through which the player can pick up colored balls that are mixed in a box at the start of play. The game includes 48 balls, eight each in six colors. At the start of a round, a challenge card is revealed, showing that players need to pick up all balls of the color facing them, or a specific number of balls in specific colors, or any eleven balls (thereby filling their trunk). Whoever completes the challenge first — hitting the target exactly with nothing extra — claims the challenge card, and whoever first collects ten challenge cards wins!
