Primate Fear

Players scrounge through a junkyard built over a haunted cemetery, constructing towers from junk and reinforcing them with additional parts. As monkey parts are collected, a reanimated ape is assembled and begins climbing after the players. Players draw cards, build and strengthen their towers, and attack opponents to bring them within the creature’s reach. Defense cards and die rolls can prevent attacks, while collapsing junk may reduce a tower further. The ape rises each round, eating the brains of players it catches until only one remains. The cards can also be combined with those from Spank the Monkey.
