4.2. Taking a Turn

1. Players take turns rolling the die.
2. Move your explorer pawn the number of spaces indicated on the die.
3. If you land on a space with a trap, you must activate the trap.

4.3. Activating Traps

The jungle is filled with 7 "Diabolique" traps designed to hinder your progress. When you land on a trap space, follow the instructions for that specific trap:

Image: Traps 1, 2, and 3. This image details the first three trap mechanisms: the spinning wheel that releases a ball, the winding snake, and the monkey falling from a swing, each designed to create obstacles for players.

1. The Spinning Wheel: Turn the wheel to release a marble. This marble will then travel through parts of the track, potentially triggering other traps or moving your pawn.
2. The Snake: Be wary of the snake. Its movement might block the path or cause your pawn to move backward.
3. The Falling Monkey: A monkey on a swing might fall, causing an unexpected event on the board.

Image: Traps 4, 5, 6, and 7. This image displays the remaining four trap mechanisms: the falling explorer from stairs, the disturbed giraffe, the wobbly bridge, and the elephant path, all designed to add challenges to the game.

4. The Falling Explorer: This trap causes an explorer figure to fall from a set of stairs, potentially affecting pawns in its path.
5. The Disturbed Giraffe: Activating this trap might disturb a giraffe, leading to a change in the game path or pawn positions.
6. The Wobbly Bridge: Crossing the wobbly bridge can be precarious, and this trap might cause it to shift, impacting pawns on it.
7. The Elephant Path: Navigating the elephant path can trigger an event involving an elephant figure, which could alter the game's flow.

Each trap has a specific consequence, which may include moving your pawn backward, skipping a turn, or affecting other players. Consult the detailed rules provided in the game box for the exact effects of each trap.

4.4. Winning the Game

The first player to successfully navigate all traps and reach the Golden Monkey treasure wins the game.
