About the Game

Sambiki Saru is a Japanese expression that refers to the three wise monkeys known as Mizaru, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, who speaks no evil. In this cooperative trick-taking game, the objective is to overcome a series of challenges. Divided into 3 colors, the monkey markers are distributed among players and secretly rolled, as if they were dice. The first player in the trick chooses one of their monkeys to put into play. The other players must play a monkey of the same color, if possible. The player with the most acrobatic monkey of the same color as the first monkey played wins the trick. Each scenario offers a challenge for players to overcome, defining how many tricks each player must win and establishing communication restrictions and different uses for banana tokens. If the round's challenge is overcome, players advance to the next level. How many challenges will your team be able to complete?
