We brought our gorilla out of the deck and gave him his own table game. Players spin the spinner, call out phrases, race for bananas and coconuts, and try to judge gorilla sizes that look almost identical. Rounds move fast and score with banana points.

How to play, step by step

Spin, speak, and grabEach turn starts with a spin. You race to perform an action or call out a phrase, then grab for the banana or coconut before anyone else reaches it.

Sorting similar gorillasPoints also come from sizing up the gorillas. Because the artwork keeps them looking close in scale, guessing the right size under pressure leads to plenty of mistaken picks.

Table size and agesThe box is marked for ages 8 and up. It plays with 2 to 6 people around the table.

Fifteen minute roundsA full game takes about 15 minutes. You count up banana points at the end to see who took the round.
