What's more fun than a 'barrel of monkeys'? Well, actually nothing! Children will have hours of fun with Milton Bradley's Barrel of Monkeys! The barrel contains 12 monkeys, their color USUALLY (unlike the photo) is corresponding to the barrel's color. The instructions on the bottom of the barrel state "Dump monkeys onto table. Pick up one monkey by an arm. Hook other arm through a second monkey's arm. Continue making a chain. Your turn is over when a monkey is dropped." In addition to these basic instructions, the barrel also contains instructions for playing alone or with two or more players. Barrel and Monkey colors may vary from those in photo
