Overview
What ABG knows about this game
Monkey Butt is a family friendly casual game that is quick to learn but has a reasonable amount of strategy involved. The object of the game is to not be the last player with cards in hand. This player is the loser, or titular Monkey Butt. Players take turns to eliminate their hand by playing cards that beat the card currently on the discard pile. Special cards can be used strategically to steal opponents good cards, block the use of certain colours or force an opponent to pick up the discard pile, thus adding to their hand. Other players may know some of the cards you have in your hand and hence you must tactically plot a path to eliminate all your cards and avoid being crowned the Monkey Butt.
