Advantages: A good game that young children and adults love to play

Disadvantages: Quite fiddly to set up

This is one of many games that my children have and it's one that they play from time to time. It is a bit fiddly to set up but takes no longer than a couple of minutes. The actual tree comes in four different sections; base, two trunk sections that push together and then clip on the base, then the top tree bushy bit. Once you've done thhis you then a quite a few plastic sticks to put in the holes one side and you have to make sure they poke out of the other side once pushed through. After putting these all through which can take a few minutes again it's then time to drop all the monkeys through the top green bushy bit until they are all hooked onto the pastic sticks inside the trunk.

You can have 2 - 4 players in this game and the aim of the game is end up with the least amount of monkeys when all the sticks have been pulled out. You each have to take it in turns pulling out a coloured stick and if there are any monkeys that fall down to the base then they are all yours. You have to try and take this sticks out not letting many if not no monkeys falling out from the middle. At the end of the game you all count how many monkeys you have and the one with the least wins.

This is a really good game to play but it's annoying that you have to put in the sticks each time and this can take a while.

My little three year old has just started taking an interest in playing this game as it's easy to play with hardly any rules.

It's still available to buy from many places that sells games. We got ours from Woolworths a couple of years ago and i think it was about £7.00 but i'm not 100% sure as i got it for an offer when they had 3 for 2 on games.

Summary: A good game for the family to play.
