Gorilla is a board game released in 2010 for 3–5 players and ages 5 and up.
A card game similar in many ways to Uno. There are four suits and different animals of each suit. Players attempt to get rid of their cards by matching the animal or the suit. Special cards can cause other players to pick up cards or miss a turn or even reverse the order of play. First player to lose all his cards is the winner.
Gorilla supports 3–5 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 catalogue lists Gorilla for ages 5 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.
Gorilla has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.
Gorilla belongs to these categories: Card Game, Animals, and Children's Game. Categories describe the theme, setting and style of a game rather than its rules.
