HABA Karuba Junior: Cooperative Jungle Adventure Board Game for Kids Ages 4+**

Embark on an exciting expedition into the heart of the jungle with HABA’s Karuba Junior! This beginner-friendly strategy game is specifically designed for young explorers, offering a thrilling race against time and obstacles. Unlike traditional competitive games that may lead to frustration for younger children, Karuba Junior focuses on teamwork. Players must collaborate to find hidden treasures and navigate the dense tropical wilderness before the pirates reach the island. It serves as the perfect introduction to the world of tile-laying games, blending logic, luck, and adventure in every round.

Key Benefits**

Fosters Teamwork:** As a cooperative game, children work together toward a common goal, helping to build essential social skills, communication, and emotional intelligence.

Develops Spatial Logic:** Players must decide how to place path tiles to connect their explorers to the treasure, enhancing their spatial reasoning and early planning abilities.

Premium HABA Quality:** Features the high-quality components HABA is known for, including thick, durable cardboard tiles and wooden figures designed to withstand years of enthusiastic play.

Quick & Engaging Play:** With a runtime of approximately 10 minutes per session, the game is perfectly paced for the shorter attention spans of preschoolers and kindergarteners.

How to Use**

3. Be careful! If you draw a tiger tile, that specific path becomes blocked. If you draw a pirate ship tile, the pirates move one step closer to the island.

4. The team wins if they successfully navigate the jungle and collect all three treasure chests before the pirate ship reaches the final beach space.
