"Do you want to leave the world behind? Then this game is for you. The first one to finish and shout 'Jumanji' wins the game."
But you must finish. Because with the first throw of the dice strange things start to happen. Peter and Judy find they must face lions, Crocodiles, rhinoceroses and a hunter with a big gun.
Can they finish the game before it finishes them?
