Fast-paced gameplay, the skill and nerves of steel requires

Affenalarm is a game from 5, where it comes to skill under stress. The game is packed in a cardboard box, rather similar to me a puzzle box reminded. Beautiful it would have been if the package would be made properly fixed board and a lid would (so take the parts on the side out). Inside you will find plastic parts in bags packed, and a plastic base, two-together plastic palm trees with a thick liana including Timer monkeys. In the sachets are small monkeys hanging in different colors, and 4 sticks that serve as packed fishing. Even four cardboard cups, the folded and must be inserted are included.
Initially, the game is built. The palm trees are put together, thereby the liana is secured with the thick Timer monkeys between the palms. Finally, the monkey hanging hang with their tails in the palms or upped the ante even above. Then go already. The thick Timeraffe is pulled down by the first player and the banana tree is placed on the. Then losgeangelt. You may only fish with the rod, a monkey falls down, this may also be resorted to only with the chopsticks. Shortly before the Timeraffe reaches the top (it's a Aufziehaffe) and thus raises the banana tree of the Liane, 1 player must pull down the timer again and are so Player 2 use. This then angling straight on in its own box. So it goes in turn. Is anyone too greedy and the banana tree falls loudly from the liana (because of Timeraffe has pushed down it), the greedy have to give 2 monkeys and the next may raise the timer and is tuned. And so it goes on until all hanging monkeys are caught. Then is counted. The player with the most hanging monkey wins.

Actually, it's a fun game that promotes skill and my children (5 and 8) like. But I find the package just not good. A game should already stuck in a reasonable box, which is also a bit of what endures and that can be opened with a lid and close. So you stuffs after the game all the parts in the box, the then total bulge under Umstännden. The presentation is not particularly affectionate. The boxes for hanging monkeys are also no right boxes, but a cardboard strip which gives a box without a bottom. Of course you can say that these are just little things, but to me is the presentation of a game already also very important, because I just prefer to play with a beautifully designed game than with a colorful plastic conglomerate that has to be crammed into a thin cardboard box. Therefore 3 stars.
