Anyone else play this game? I tried it at a con last weekend, and I really liked it.

The game is very simple. You place a wooden piece called the totem in the middle of the table. It's about 6 inches high. You then deal out the deck of Jungle Speed cards. Each player receives an equal share of the deck (or as close to equal as you can get).

The first player flips a card over, then the next, and so on. If your card matches someone else's card, you have to grab the totem. While you're lunging for it, chances are the other guy (the one you matched with) is also going for it. As you flip cards, you pile them face up in front of you. The last card you flipped goes on top.

What makes the game fun is that all of the symbols have one or two close analogs. You have to really pay attention to the card draw.

The game goes until someone is out of cards to flip and he grabs the totem due to a match. The last card you flip up remains face up until you flip another card.

If there's a match and the other matched person grabs the totem, you add his flipped cards to the bottom of your face down pile.

If you screw up (such as by grabbing the totem at the wrong time), you add everyone's face up cards to the bottom of your pile.

There are a few other random cards. One requires everyone to go for the totem. Another has everyone flip a card at the same time.

Anyway, I really liked this game. It'd be an awesome drinking game.

It is a brutal cross between Uno and Egyptian Rat Screw.

I'm a fan.

I bought it and yes, indeed, when my girlfriend and her buddies got back from drinking, we played it and it was a blast.

I used to play this game when I was a youngin all the time.  Only we'd use a normal deck of cards and call it slap, or spoons or bloody nuckles (or if my grandparents where playing donkey).  Slightly differnt but essentially the same.

I played it as a two-player game with a normal deck of cards when I was younger.

Two players sitting opposite each others, each turning over their card at the same time.

We called it "Nervous" (or some transaltion of this) and, indeed, one could get quite jumpy playing this.
