Expensive but worth it, awesome package. The additional modules add a lot of interesting gameplay possibilities. I hope! Still working may way through the training scenarios.

The push-your-luck game Cheeky Monkey includes eight sets of animals – three elephants, four seals, and so on up to ten monkeys – with a plastic chip representing each animal. To start the game, you place all the chips in a bag.
On a turn, a player may draw chips until either (1) he chooses to stop or (2) he draws an animal that he has lying in front of him from a previous draw this turn. In this latter case, he returns all chips in front of him from the current turn to the bag, and the next player then takes his turn. In the former case, he stacks the chips in whatever order he wants on top of any chips he's collected in previous turns. (If a player has animals of only a single type, he can tuck them on the bottom of his stack.) Two special rules come into play while the player draws chips:
When the last chip has been added to a stack, the game ends. Any player who has more chips of an animal type than any other player receives bonus points equal to the total number of that animal in the game. The player with the most points wins.
Kids love the plush monkey and adults like the simple but clever game
Very light game of set collection and push your luck, fun to play with kids and start teaching them how to count points and play the odds. The fact it comes in a plush monkey really helps bringing it to the table!
