Schlaraffen Affen

coconut and cockatoo

Monkeys search for their coconuts! The Schlaraffen-Affen forest is set up - palm tree in the middle, starting tree in the corner; the coconuts are filled with one chip in one of the four player colors, well shuffled and hung up on one leaf each of the palm tree; the cockatoo sits on and palm leaf and the monkeys hang in the starting tree.

As the active player you roll three dice - for a fruit symbol you can jump to this fruit on the adjacent tree, provided that the fruit is depicted on the tree; for the palm tree symbol you may jump to any fruit on the next tree, always in clockwise direction following the pointer. For the blank symbol, your monkey stays in place and if you roll the cockatoo, you move the bird to any fruit on any tree; a fruit carrying the cockatoo is blocked for all monkeys.

When the fruit you rolled is occupied by a monkey on the next tree, you can hang yourself onto this monkey, who then in his move must carry you with him. The sequence in which you use the symbols of the three dice, is chosen by you and you can also forfeit to use a symbol. When you reach the palm tree with a palm tree dice result, you jump from leaf to leaf - you must also always roll a palm tree symbol for this move - and check the coconut on the leaf you reached. If you find the coconut with your own color chip in it, you win instantly.

A game out of the Land of Milk and Honey for children’s’ games - opulent, sturdy components which are fun to set up and easy to use; the game is quickly explained and is easy and fun to play, and it even offers first tactical decision for the sequence of dice result use.
