Bongo Kongo

This electronic dexterity game has players trigger a monkey to collect falling coconuts and finish with the most. A swinging club can knock a monkey out, so every attempt risks elimination while the backpack gradually empties.

Read the full game description

Each player takes a position adjacent to one of the four monkeys. Once the game is turned on, the players then press the colored button behind their monkey to make it lean forward and hit the panel on the back of Bongo Kongo’s rotating backpack. When it hits the trigger panel, a "coconut" is released and falls into the player's pit. Be careful though, because Bongo Kongo spins back and forth swinging a big club. If the club hits your monkey it will be knocked off the stump and you’re out of the game. The game is over when Bongo Kongo’s backpack is empty. The player with the most coconuts in their pit wins
