About the game

Taking its cue from Cheapass, Placebo Press releases game kits. They supply the unique items and you supply the rest. This game is played on a grid map of a research facility. There are 4 monkey stations in the facility. Your job is to visit them and pick up a monkey (1 at a time) and bring them back to start where they are caged. You carry tranquilizer darts and it is permissible to shoot your fellow researchers to keep them from getting back with monkeys or to steal their monkeys. When you get a monkey they will usually help you with a power but they also come with nasty traits that if you fail a monkey roll can mess things up for you. Expanded by: Power Monkeys
