Barrel of Monkeys (1965)

About this game

Did you know that this is not just a children's toy, but also a game? Try to hook a chain of monkeys until you stop or your chain falls apart. You score one point for every monkey in the chain at that point. First to 12 points wins!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. The player count is not recorded for this one.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 3 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
