Description
It's a zoo in here! Those meddling monkeys have set all the animals loose, but do you want to catch a pod of walruses, a journey of giraffes, or a zeal of zebras? You can draw as many animal tokens as you want, but don't be too cheeky! Cheeky Monkey is hours of fun for everyone from wise old elephants to young pups.
There are 8 different animal tokens ranging from 3 elephants to 10 monkeys creating some nice basic probability and statistics that children catch on to quickly. This adds a nice challenge for adults too. Opportunities exist to steal the top chips from your opponents; adding some fun and hilarity without being too mean, so be careful how you organize your animal stack. Each of the 8 animal bonus disks have a map on the back showing the main habitat of that particular species as well as some good basic facts geared to the younger players interested in the “Cheeky Monkey” menagerie.
Components:
52 Animal Tokens (showing 8 animals)
8 Bonus Tiles (one for each animal)
1 Cheeky Monkey Bag
1 Rule Book
