I was just waiting for someone to write this, it's turning out great so far.
Put more of an original spin on it and then I'll like it more. By original I mean what happens with each dice roll, make it unique as a story.
I'm reminded of the Jumanji cartoon series for some reason at this moment.
People are expecting the crazy hunter gag, Zecora leading a stampede and an invasion of giant poisonous spiders... yawn... throw me a curve ball.
There are more characters here playing the game so this adds a bit of dimension to all the crazy things you can do to them like the giant snake thing, not to mention keeping the dice on hoof to throw the next roll.
WTF? Jumanji? Who on Equestria would think of that?
O_o
Is anyone else kind of expecting Pinkie Pie to be sucked back into the game when they win?
I was going to write this......
:(
been saving the idea but now I'm to late....

It's never too late!
Do go on! I can't wait to read more!
Oh and someone is going to try and cheat, yes? I can totally see Dash trying to cheat and turning into some crazy animal as a result!
Dash cheats, and turns into a cat. That would be nice and wtf.
This is an awesomely unexpected idea. I'm a big fan of the old Jumanji movie, so of course I'd love this. And oh noes, Spike! D:
Nice... Very nice...
But because of pic, now I need to read ponies in The Most Dangerous Game...
Wait a minute... If both Fluttershy and Spike have been lost to the game's magic now, then wouldn't the game just grind to a halt? I mean, they made up a team and now that both members of the team are gone the piece shouldn't be able to move. Unless someone like, rolls two twelves in a row or something before it gets to their teams turn again, isn't it impossible to win now?
I'm betting that Zecora knows about the game and is appropriately frightened by it. The vines are a nice part, at first I thought they might find the poison dart flowers but those might be a little much for the ponies.
@Anonymous
Since the game keeps track of everyone, presumably "lost" players are skipped
@Fast and Free Unless the player is dead, it doesn't skip. When Alan was trapped in the game, they couldn't continue until he took his turn. Until they retrieve Fluttershy or Spike returns from in the game, they're screwed.
Whoah what lightning mode updates
I left the computer long enough to play "The Most Beautiful Girl (In The Room)" on Rock Band and I came back and suddenly there's three new posts! Did the whole "hourly update" thing mess up?

That punchline. EPIC! I cant wait for the awesome to start.
I just... can't read this. It just doesn't work out well with ponies.
I bet Celestia has something to do with the game being magic-ed. :| Really good story, it's gotten better since the first two chapters.
Aw hell, Van Pelt time. Shit's gonna go down.
That's one hell of a way to introduce "humans" to the Ponies.
By the way Andrew, from Zecora's description, the Jumanji in this story predates Celestia and probably modern Pony-kind. There's the implication that Equestria is set on some kind of post-human Earth.
@Anonymous
Yeah, but according to Zecora this is also a special board, as the others were never magic, thus Celestia may have something to do with this special one. Or maybe not, maybe it's left over from Earth. Who knows?
> Van Pelt with ponies
MY BODY IS NOT READY
Oh man that ending of chapter 3...
Man the next part is gonna be amazing. I love Van Pelt.
Van Pelt? Hell. Yes.
This is great! Jumanji and Ponies, who would of thought?
Was that a Tremors reference I caught?
dude, i'm sorry but i just read ponies playing team fortress 2, i dont think i can satand another unexpected mind-fuck. 9_6
may read it later.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!
OK, i didn't understand who it ended. Pinkie was 6 places away, and she got a two, then said jumanji, how did she win then?
@pureZOOKS
She got Snakes eye, thats a double so she gets another roll
That ending.
Those little fillies are in for a shock, aren't they? >B)
Woooo!
Well that was a hay of a good read. Heartily recommended, 5 stars. Bam.
Van Pelt is one of the most badass villains ever. I mean, really. Super powers? Evil Genius Machines? Psh, all ya need is a gun, a fine hat, and a nice moustache.
So much win.
@D pony
So she rolled without the author saying so?
@PureZOOKS
She rolled when Twilight was talking to Van Pelt.
5/5 from me, awesome. Enjoyed it from beginning to end... I was expecting Van Pelt to become friends with the ponies but I suppose everything can't be perfect xD.
Twilight should REALLY, really have given the game to Celestia, so she could destroy it.
Considering that the Jumanji Board must be a major-artefact, then only a god can destroy it. (or using another Major-artefact).
@Anonymous
Yup
I love that movie
THAT'S A FINE NICE PIC
I LOVED the Tremors reference!
And shoot at the ending, I was hoping you have Celestia send it to the moon.
