Description

In Spin Monkeys, you're a mischievous monkey in the jungle, and when a carnival comes to town, you can't resist jumping into the bumper cars and causing some chaos. With 2 to 8 players, this game is perfect for a fun night with friends or a big family gathering. The rules are easy to learn, so you can dive right in and start playing, and with a playtime of just 45 minutes, you can fit in a game or two without feeling overwhelmed. Designed by Mark Sellmeyer and published in 2012, Spin Monkeys has a unique blend of action and strategy that will keep you on your toes. As you spin and zoom around the board, you'll need to manage your hand of cards carefully to collect as much fruit as possible - apples, oranges, and bananas are all up for grabs. But watch out, because as you pick up speed, it's easier to crash into the sides of the board or other monkeys, which can slow you down or even let other players steal your fruit. With special action cards that let you take extra fruit or spin your opponents, the game is full of exciting twists and turns. The goal is to be the player with the most points in fruit when only one type is left on the board, so you'll need to balance speed and strategy to come out on top.
