About the game
User summary A party-esque card game, where one plays the human, and the rest play the monkeys who have escaped from zoo. The cards depict various places where the monkeys may have gone. The monkey players will play these each turn, and at the end of each turn, flip them face up. The human player may to a certain extent look at the monkey players' hand cards, and try to block certain cards from being flipped face up, or simply catch the monkey who is in a specific place. If the monkeys manage to get a certain amount of cards flipped face up, they win. If not, the human wins. This game was created by everyone at One Draw, which is why there is no specified designer.
