This game is nice, but it's mostly too hard for my almost five year old and my eight year old finds it frustrating after a short time. BUT my whole family, including teenage daughters, like playing it together, and even though it's difficult for them, my littles can play alongside of with the rest of the family. I suggest modifying the rules a bit when playing with littles so that the littles are allowed to get the monkeys up there even if they are laying across the tops of the trees and yet the older children have to get them up there only by having them hang off of the tree (as the rules say). This evens the playing field enough that the littles have a fighting chance at feeling successful. :)
I feel that the game is pretty well made. All in all, my family loves this game.

Fairness!!!!
By Sandy on December 15, 2019
I am so upset just recovering from extremely bad strep n the flu to open the one the game grandson really wanted and and I found. Black magic marker scribbled on price. Are you selling logic stuff. I want this game for my grandson. But with no black marker cover prices on boxes.
