Custom JUMANJI Game Board Looks Exactly Like the Film Version

Later this year, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle will bring moviegoers back into the realm of Jumanji. As much as we’re looking forward to seeing that, the first Jumanji film starring Robin Williams, and the original novel by Chris Van Allsburg will always have a special place in our hearts. Now, one fan has taken his love for Jumanji to the next level by creating a screen accurate replica of the board game as it appeared in the movie!

Within the story, the Jumanji game features this warning: “Adventurers beware: do not start until you intend to finish.” Steven Richter seemed to take that to heart in this timelapse video. Via Shropshire Star, Richter took seven months to complete this project, and that’s not counting the years he spent learning how to do it!

Richter is an immensely talented woodworker and sculptor, so it should be no surprise to learn that he does this for a living with Tom Spina Designs, a movie prop restoration company. “I’ve been working there for five years over which I’ve honed in my sculpting skills and picked up various other hobbies and skills.”

Richter is not selling his beautiful creation, but you can visit his Etsy shop to buy the Jumanji game pieces and dice, as well as his cover casting for the game board. For more pictures of the Jumanji game, you can find Richter’s gallery here.
