Coco Schnipp

NUT in THE WATER! MONKEY MOVES!

The monkeys in the jungle are bored and hold a race; the speed of the monkey is determined by the color of the coconut that ends up in the watering hole. You begin with a monkey and the corresponding coconuts on their spots on the track. The monkeys are on the big starting spot and the crocodile is hovering in waiting position next to the board.

The color spinner determines a color. Now all try simultaneously to snip their coconut of this color into the watering hole. After snipping it is hands off the board for all players and you check which nut sits nearest to the watering hole. The owner can move his monkey accordingly. Nuts that have been snipped off the board ore have landed on their back are put back to the start. All other nuts remain where they have landed. When the spinner shows the monkey head only the active player may snip a coconut of his choice; if he hits the watering hole he may move his monkey five spots. If you make a mistake you move your monkey back three steps. When a player did move his monkey he may relocate the crocodile. The crocodile chases away monkeys! If you must move your monkey to the crocodile the monkey retreats five steps. If you are the first to reach the finish spot with the bananas, you win.

Well snipped means stepping far, collisions are unavoidable and sometimes you even profit when two opposing nuts shoot each other off the board. In any case this is a well-working combination of dexterity and roll-and-move mechanisms, in which sometimes a coconut can get a monkey off a liana. For younger children one can play without the crocodile obstacle.
