Barrel of Monkeys
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barrel of Monkeys is a toy game first created by Lakeside Toys in 1965. Today it is produced by the Milton Bradley Company. Milton Bradley's editions consist of a toy barrel in either blue, yellow, red, or green. The barrel contains 12 monkeys, their color usually corresponding to the barrel's color. The instructions on the bottom of the barrel state "Dump monkeys onto table. Pick up one monkey by an arm. Hook other arm through a second monkey's arm. Continue making a chain. Your turn is over when a monkey is dropped." These are the basic instructions, but the barrel also contains instructions for playing alone or with two or more players. Picking up monkeys from the floor is explicitly forbidden. Once a monkey falls, it is ruled "out of play" until the next round.
