Monkeys on the Moon

While there may or may not be a World War Two bomber on the moon, there are definitely some monkeys there. In Monkeys on the Moon, anyway. And they want to come home. So players can earn status with the tribes by putting monkeys on board their spaceships. But the alliances and rivalry between the tribes make this a chancy operation!

There's a lot to think about in Monkeys on the Moon. First is the question of which tribes you want to promote - knowing that this will count against you with their rivals. Then there's the question of bidding for the available monkeys. And the limitations of which coins you hold. This is a game that requires a bit of thinking as well as providing plenty of fun.

For 3-4 players, playing time 1 hour: £15.00
