Jujuman is a single-sheet, roll-and-write adventure game designed for 1 to 99 players. In this game, players assume the role of a Jujuman, a spiritual healer, embarking on a quest to gather ingredients, craft potions, and overcome various challenges.

Setup

  1. Print the Game Sheet: Each player needs a copy of the Jujuman game sheet, which can be downloaded and printed from the game’s official Kickstarter page.
  2. Gather Writing Instruments: Ensure players have a pen or pencil to record their progress on the game sheet.
  3. Prepare Dice: To play the game, you’ll need three standard six-sided dice (d6). Having multiple dice per player can expedite gameplay if you’re playing with multiple players.
  4. Set Up the Timer: While not mandatory, using a timer can add an element of urgency. Decide on a time limit for each turn or the entire game, based on group preference.

Gameplay:

Rolling the Die: On your turn, roll the six-sided dice. The result determines the action you can take, as outlined on the game sheet.

Taking Actions: Depending on the die roll, you can perform actions such as:

  1. Crafting Potions: You can craft potions by using one, two, or all of the dice rolled. Adding or subtracting the values, you can write the number on your player sheet by using standard sudoku rules of never repeating the same number in any row or column.
  2. Gathering Ingredients: The dice that you will not use will allow you to move around the map and collect various ingredients required for potion crafting.

End of the Game:

The game concludes after three rows of different colors are compleated or when a specific condition, as defined in the game rules, is met.

Scoring: Tally your points based on the potions crafted in the rightmost position in any row, the same type of potion fulfilled, and any other criteria specified on the game sheet.

Determine the Winner: The player with the highest score is declared the winner. In solo play, compare your score against the provided benchmarks to assess your performance. Here is our video review of the game in which we explain the game in detail:
