A pattern recognition mechanic has players looking for patterns within the game in order to succeed at their goals. In Jungle Speed players are each going one at a time flipping a card from the top of their deck. Whenever the patterns match on the cards of two players, both of those players will reach for the totem in the middle of the table. Whoever grabs the totem first wins the duel and the losing player has to take all the cards from in front of the winning player into their deck.
