Go Ape! (2008)

About this game

Go Ape! adds a hilarious twist to the traditional game of Go Fish! Instead of asking other players for a card, you’ll act out the funny monkey picture on the card you want without talking! For example, if you need a card that shows a monkey covering its eyes, you’ll cover your eyes to see if another player has a card that matches. If you want a card that shows a monkey standing on one foot, you’ll stand on one foot. Collect the most monkey matches, and you’re the winner.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
