HUNGRY MONKEY

Sometimes you thumb through a rulebook and find yourself thinking, ‘Oh, no!’
And your reaction and the resulting play experience correlate. Thankfully that’s not the case with Hungry Monkey. My initial misgivings were due to the games unnerving similarity to the classic card game beloved by students everywhere, 'Shithead', and while it cleaves pretty closely to that classic format it makes a couple of tweaks that makes it a surprise for a Shithead veteran like me and ensures a fun time for those new to the system.
