📖 About This Game
The rules of 'The Bendy Banana Company' clearly state: "Absolutely NO monkeys are allowed in the Warehouse", but as co-supervisor you were sure that the rules didn't apply to you. Now The Boss is coming for an impromptu inspection, so you must race against your opponent to be the first to retrieve your Monkey and return it to your Loading Bay, before The Boss arrives!
Monkey Dash is a two player strategy game, in which players spend action points to move their Supervisor and Monkey, and to manipulate the Banana Crates to build a pathway across the board.
The game requires you to employ a wide range of tactics, constantly modify your plans to balance offensive and defensive play, based upon the actions of your opponent.
Two variants ship with the game: Pure Skill, removes all luck from the game, and Advanced, introduces a new banana skin playing piece, adding a new twist to the game.
Monkey Dash launched at the UK Games Expo 2009, where it received the public vote for Best New Strategy Game.
