Coconosian Sharkball

Sharkball is a form of dodgeball played between the various monkey nations of the Fruitopian Archipelago. Notable exceptions from standard dodgeball include aerial gymnastics over a shark-infested section of the ocean, the bombs strapped to everyone's back, using coconuts instead of balls, and the fact that a match begins with 8 teams instead of 2. Your objective in this game is to predict which team will win overall, and which team will be eliminated in each round, and then to try to make it happen. Play cards to the teams, call strikes to eliminate monkeys, figure out who your temporary allies are among your fellow gamblers, and gain points for making your predictions come true! —description from the designer
