Jumpin Monkeys
Everyone loves monkeys, and everyone loves catapults--put them  together and you have irresistible fun. Jumping Monkeys is a fast-paced  game of skill and cunning that plays well for young and old alike. Each  player gets four cute, plastic monkeys with arms nearly akimbo and one  miniature catapult to launch them into the 10-inch-tall, brown and green  plastic tree. It's more challenging than you'd think, and the level of  difficulty is compounded by the chance to knock off other players'  monkeys with skillful shots. The first player to place all four monkeys  in the tree wins a pile of bananas, and the one who ends up with the  most bananas wins.--Rob Lightner
