Description

In the heart of the jungle, a thrilling competition is underway as two players from the Monki tribe face off to claim the crown and become the next ruler. The scene is set amidst the ancient ruins of a temple, where numerous jars filled with coveted fruits are scattered, surrounded by old statues. The goal is simple yet challenging: be the first to collect all the different types of fruits, with a special focus on the highly prized golden fruits. With its simple rules that can be explained quickly, Monki is a game that can be picked up in no time, making it accessible to players of all ages and experience levels. As you navigate the temple, you'll need to press your luck to collect as many fruits as possible, moving your Monki figurine in a straight line and gathering fruit tokens until you decide to stop or until a duplicate fruit is revealed, which will end your turn. The game is fast-paced, lasting only about 15 minutes, and the tension builds as you try to outmaneuver your opponent to collect all eight regular fruits or four golden fruits, securing your victory and claiming the title of King of the Jungle. Designed by Antoni Guillen and Jean Pineau, Monki is a fun and strategic game that combines push your luck and set collection mechanics, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a quick and exciting gaming experience.
