PLAYED FOR YOU
Primate Fear
Monkey see, Monkey Doom!
On a junkyard over a spooky cemetery revived body parts of a monkey, a so-called Frankenmonkey, are making an appearance. To escape this monster you must be quick to build the highest tower and topple towers of other players so that they are caught by the monkey first, because you win if you are the only one to survive. When the stack of cards is used up or the Frankenmonkey eats all remaining players at the same time, he is the winner!
The game features 120 cards for junk, reinforcement, attack and defense. A turn comprises drawing cards, placing cards for tower raising and tower reinforcement, resolving card effects, attacking a tower - the owner can defend, moving the monkey and discarding cards. There is no limit to cards in hand and you raise your tower by placing a new junk card on top and you can reinforce it by placing a reinforcement card next to a junk card. Each player is always on top of his tower and you must adjust your marker on the climbing height board accordingly.
When a card with a monkey symbol is played, you place a new monkey part on his board. When all seven monkey parts are placed the Frankenmonkey awakens and enters the climbing height board at Level One. He rises by one level when a monkey symbol is played and eliminates players on this level or below, but he cannot climb higher than level 25! Cards can eliminate monkey parts, then the monkey stays on the current level and body parts are added for a monkey symbol until seven parts are on the board again and climbing for monkey symbols is resumed.
Cute, scary, satirical and somewhat ulterior, survival is the motto, so attack other towers!
