About Jumanji: The Curse Returns:

Jumanji: The Curse Returns brings to the players a modernized version of the original board game. The players will be playing with 3 other people to form a team of 4 and interact with each other in real-time. As the players play through the board, they will face zebras, elephants, lions, and a lot more, just like in the movie.
