Press down with your finger on the monkey’s hands as 
shown. Then slide your finger toward yourself until he 
FLIPS. NOTE: how hard you press down will determine 
how far the monkey flips.
Remember, you want your monkey to land on your 
opponent’s color and not your own.
Play continues clockwise, 1 player flipping 1 monkey at a 
time, until each player has flipped all of their monkeys into 
the group of Banana Cards. This completes a round.

OBJECT
To have your color Banana Card be the last one showing.
SET UP
Each player chooses a color, takes the corresponding 
Player Card, and places it in front of them. 
For a 3-4 player game, each player takes 2 monkeys. For 
a 2 player game, each player takes 4 monkeys.
All the Banana Cards of each player’s color are placed in 
the center of the playing area, turned face down and 
shuffled. 
The shuffled Banana Cards are then turned face-up so 
the bananas and color borders are showing.
Finally, spread the Banana Cards apart slightly so it’s 
possible for a monkey to land on any card.
Once the round ends, each player counts how many 
monkeys are touching their color Banana Cards. NOTE: if 
a monkey has landed on more than one card, all the cards 
are considered touched.
The player that has the most monkeys touching their 
color cards must flip 1 of their cards face down (if there 
is a tie, then all tied players must flip 1 card face down).
Each player then takes 2 monkeys back (or 4 monkeys for 
a 2-player game).
The starting player for the next round becomes the 
player to the left of the previous start player.
If a round begins with only 2 cards left turned up, and 
the same amount of monkeys land on each card creating 
a tie, the round is played again.
WINNING
At the end of a round, if only 1 color has any Banana Cards 
remaining face up, then that player is the winner.
