Coco Crazy is a board game released in 1992 for 2–8 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Hajo Bücken and its main mechanics are Set Collection.
Six coconuts each contain six monkeys ("bobbles") of identical colour. Each player is trying to collect one bobble of each colour (five when playing with 7 or 8 players). The game starts with the coconuts mixed on the board so that no one knows which one contains which colour. Then each player peeks at one coconut. On your turn, you roll a die. Results possible include turning the board 90 degrees, guessing at a coconut's bobbles' colour (that's how you get bobbles) and having each player swap two coconuts as quickly as possible. A very merry game! Awards 1992 Årets Familiespil, Family Game of the Year Denmark
Coco Crazy supports 2–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Coco Crazy is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Coco Crazy for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Coco Crazy has a complexity rating of 1.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
