“Monkey Shines,” an undated game from Whitman, asked the players to amass a set of four similar cards, and then make the appropriate animal noise. The other players had to chime in; the last to follow was penalized with a “monkey ticket.” When a player accumulated three of them, he was the monkey, and the game ended. There were, apparently, no winners, only losers. As the instructions state, “no one wishes to be a ‘monkey.'”
Me, I like the elegant design, the curious lettering, and the orange and green color scheme.

Beautiful. Still, I see no reason why monkeys must be stigmatized in the name of fun.

Maybe it’s evolution denial.

They’re all very nice. You must admit the goat is handsome.

As a fellow Capricorn, I appreciate the goat! Nice little red high heels climbing upwards and onwards…the red and green look nice together
