Customer Review

Video at Amazon.com View Super fun game! Is so far well received by all, although it's a super simple Geschichklichkeitsspiel, that is a little pillow battle, reminiscent of a few years ago, but much better to play.

To better understand how the game works exactly, I have created a video in which I present a game with two players even while explaining all the rules.
They are taken to rapidly together.
The "Schedule" consists of 3x3 cups that are erected in the square, where the 5 cup representing an X are each doubly occupied.
Each player gets a small game plan that you report directly to the Square and in front of these presents you its plastic monkeys.
The arms of the monkeys are small catapults. Each player gets 8 rubber coconuts and off you go.
You put in order, a coconut on the hands of monkeys, pulling the arms down, they let go and tried to take in any cup.

Succeeds, we must leave the cup on one of its three storage boxes on the game board. One possible way to win is that you imagine piled a pyramid of cups 6 ha.
One can also try to aim in cup of appearance. If this succeeds, you get the corresponding cup. If you hit one of the lower building of the other players just to his pyramid. This cup which is obtained are now at least two coconuts - one of the players and their own, with which one has gained the cup.

This is important, because the other end of the game is initiated as soon as all the coconuts are in the cups. But really all. Each nut with which one does not hit and then on the table or on the floor or who knows where need is again set ready and are provided as general stock available. Say even if the own eight nuts are from the beginning away, as long as the game goes on, there are no more nuts to even the general supply.
Once that event has occurred, the players count the nuts in the past before him cups.
The fact that you also cup can snatch other players, it may so happen that a player does have a total of less cup in front of him, in these cups are but more nuts.

In addition, there are action cards with which you can play, but definitely does not have.
With these cards you can for example specify a cup in the needs to be shot, or the other has to shoot with your eyes closed, etc. pp. Small meanness just that should used in the game you do not eat breakfast but rather common when a player performs significantly later.

The coconuts are through tricky. They are small, light, irregularly shaped, look like chocolate balls that you can eat (so be careful with toddlers!) And are coated with rubber, so that they can weghüpfen in all possible directions. The higher you score a nut, the more energy you get, the more likely it bounces back out of a mug after it was once there. So you have the time to develop a feel for how much power you can shoot as a nut, so it ends up where it is needed.
That will probably never work quite perfect, but the game has been a learning curve in which one is better simply, the more you have practiced. Then the parts are also interesting because they each tried to wangle the precious cup.

Conclusion:
Whether for two, three or six - Crazy Coconuts is in each occupation a hit. A great game for children or to play it with kids, without being too quickly annoyed them. On the contrary, we will pick the game also frequently out in pure adults rounds. Of course, it runs under the category "Absackerspiel", ie games because you after a long evening games can play short, or if you still waiting before the start of the Games on the evening and who has what wants to play loose.
Looks best just to get in the video to get a sense how fun is this game :)
