Game Like a Mother

Quick Take: It's kind of like Jenga but with an orangutan who pops up when you trigger the spring by placing too many items on him. So hilarious. Make sure you take a video of your kids or friend's reaction the first time they play. Or the second. Or the third. Even adults seem to enjoy this game, it's easy and a lot of fun. 

​

How to Play: The goal of the game is to not be the person who makes the orangutan go twang. You hang the orangutan from the vine, prep the game by moving the toucan lever up to the top, and then decide who is going to go first. You take turns rolling the die and whatever you roll on the die is what you have to place somewhere on the orangutan. If there are no more items left of whatever you roll, you continue to roll until you get an item that can be played. If you are lucky, you roll a red star and that means you skip your turn and don't have to place anything on the orangutan. The winner is the last person to place an item on the orangutan before the person who makes it go twang. 

​

Variations: We always just play that whoever is playing who didn't make the orangutan go twang are the joint winners. It's nice to have as many winners as possible when you're playing with small children.
