We took the gorilla from our original card game and built a round around spinning, grabbing, and eyeballing weights. Players spin, call out the action, race to grab bananas or coconuts from the middle, and rank gorillas that look close in size.

How to play, step by step

The Spinner and the GrabEach turn starts with a spin. You call out the phrase or action, then race the other hands at the table to snatch a banana or coconut before anyone else reaches it.

Sizing Up the GorillasPoints also come from spotting the right size gorilla among cards that look nearly identical. You compare the artwork under speed, which leads to mistaken calls across the table.

Table Size and AgeWe designed the rules for 2 to 6 players, with age 8 and up printed on the box.

Quick RulesA round runs in about 2 minutes, so you can reset the table and deal another round right away.
