Hey, monkeys! Time to start climbing to grab the fattest fruit possible before your fellow simians can do the same. To reach the peak of the tree in Banana Matcho , however, you'll need to roll the dice and create the most valuable fruit combinations you can before top monkey "Banana Matcho" shows up on the dice rolled by an opponent. Whoever is faster gives the banana in the middle of the table a triumphant squeak. Should you risk more with your rolls to try to create better combinations? If you do, you risk a pounding from Banana Matcho, so step lively!
