About the Game

Instructions from inside the box:

OBJECT: To be the last player able to add another monkey to the circus wagons.

BEFORE PLAY: Place the four circus wagons faceup on the table. The monkey cards should be mixed up and turned facedown on the table. Determine who will be first.

PLAY: The first player picks up any one monkey card. He places the monkey on the circus wagon that matches the color of the bars on that card. He can place the monkey anywhere in the cage and in any position, as long as the bars on the monkey card line up correctly with the bars on the circus wagon. Player to his left then plays one monkey card, etc.

Cards placed onto the same circus cage may touch each other but may not overlap. Cards may touch the edge of the inside of the cage area but may not extend beyond the edge. Once a card has been correctly placed, it should not be moved.

When a player is unable to correctly play the monkey card he chose, he is out of the game. The last player still in the game is the WINNER.
