| 1wif | 9 | 2 | Some | A wonderful first game, where you draw monkeys out of a bag. It's an exercise in sheer luck but it's great fun for little ones to pull stuff and of bags and put them in their right place. They seem to find it tensions-filled (Which monkey will they pull? Is it mine? Is it mine? YES!!!!) |
| agenteasy | 9 | | | The idea: Kids pull monkeys out of a bag, hoping to draw their own colour.
Components: You get a plastic bag, several coloured monkeys and a board for each player.
The way it works: Kids draw a monkey out of the bag. If they get another players monkey, they hand it over to that player and draw again. If they draw one of their own, they place it on their board and pass the bag to the next player. First player to fill up their board wins.
Comments: This game is really simple and really short. It also teaches nothing, other than colour recognition and taking turns. Still, those skills are not necessarily easy for a 2-3 year old, so I do not think there is anything wrong with that! Kids love the anticipation of drawing the monkeys from the bag, hoping to get their colour. Also, since it is so short, who cares if it is all luck? I would rather play this than a longer luck based game, like snakes and ladders, any day. |
| cagriggs | 9 | 3 | Some | I've ended up having a lot of fun with this game while playing with my sons. There's not much to it - you simply keep picking monkeys out of a bag, giving them to their respective owner, until you pick one of yours. However, there is a lot of tension in the game as everyone watches closely to see if their color is picked out. A fun, simple, and surprisingly interactive game. |
| cthatchitt | 9 | 3 | Yes | This game is pretty simple but my 2, 4, and 5 year olds giggle and laugh so much it is quite enjoyable to play with them. The whole concept of pulling monkeys out of a bag is silly. This is a game that adults will receive enjoyment watching children play and laugh. |
| noisycrow | 9 | 2 | Some | The monkey pieces are small, so you have to watch out with smaller kids. But it is one of the favorites of my two-year-old daughter. Similar to Go Away Monster, it is drawing out a bag. |
| 49xjohn | 8 | 2 | Some | My son is just 2 and loves this game. He does not always play it correctly, and you have to make sure he doesn't eat the monkeys, but he really enjoys it. My 4 year old daughter likes it as well, but doesn't get nearly as excited.
This is a bargain at 7 bucks if you like games and have little ones. |
| baronricks | 8 | 3 | | My 3 year old always wants to play Monkey Madness. He understands the rules and will usually follow them. He takes it with him everywhere and always wants to play. Recomended for the 3-5 age group. |

| shaugville | 8 | 2 | Yes | minimum age 3 to play unsupervised (especially if they like to put small pieces in their mouths). My 2 year old enjoys this quite a bit. |
| shawndumas | 8 | 5 | No | Good kids game. Pre-teens and teens are not likely to enjoy. No half naked women, gore, cursing, or morbidity. |
| wmshub | 8 | 2 | No | My 21 month old likes it and can play it competitively. That makes it an automatic 8 at least! |
| Yollege | 8 | 3 | No | Kids love it. But there are better game out there for teaching the lessons this one targets. |
| chaddyboy_2000 | 7 | | | Not much of a game, but who cares!?! Kids love it! Id reserve this for the youngest of gamers. |
| GelatinousGoo | 7 | 2 | No | There is a small window for this game. By the time my daughter got it on her 3rd birthday, I felt she was too old for it. It seems this game is for 2 year olds only. |
| m_hamburg | 7 | 2 | No | This is great for three year olds, but they will outgrow it very quickly. My daughter started playing this by the rules around 2 and a half, at 3 years, 9 months she has pretty much outgrown it. |
| skrebs | 7 | 3 | No | This is a color recognition/turn taking game. It was, I think, the first game my daughter could play by the rules at age 3. However, I doubt she'll be playing this at age 5, so it has limited shelf life. It's also a great toy! |
| robingoblin | 6 | 2 | No | This game might be a good one for 2-3 year olds, but it's too easy for 4+....at least for my 4+! |
