Description

Affentennis, which translates to Monkey Tennis, is a fun and strategic dexterity game that's easy to learn and plays out over about 60 minutes. Designed by Jürgen Kohl and first published in 2006, this game is perfect for two players looking for a unique and engaging experience. The game takes place on a tennis court overlaid with a hex grid, where players use a clever rubber-band mechanism to hit the ball back and forth. The addition of monkey figures to mark each player's location on the court adds a playful touch, and their origin from south German television commercials gives the game a bit of quirky charm. As players compete, they'll need to think carefully about their movements and shots, as each player has limited mobility when hitting or returning the ball. They can choose to "borrow" from their next move, but this adds pressure and affects their ability to shoot effectively. The game also includes some clever options, such as serving and volleying using a wooden block, lobbing over a volley with a ramp, or smashing a volley. With its simple rules and fun, action-packed gameplay, Affentennis is a great choice for anyone looking for a lighthearted and entertaining game that's a little out of the ordinary.
