Hungry Monkey is an approachable card game from CGE/HeidelBÄR Games where you empty your hand with clever animal effects and collect beans, turning quick rounds into a charming multi-round score chase.
How to play
Each player has animal cards in hand and a face-down row. Play a card with the same or higher value onto the pile; certain animals trigger special effects that shake up the order or values. Be the first to play all hand cards and then your row to win the round; in multi-round play, Bean cards track points to determine the overall winner.
