ONLY GET THE OLD BARREL OF MONKEYS!!!!!
We bought the newest Barrel of Monkeys. My granddaughter and I (and others) could only get one or two monkeys each time. It was disheartening and not fun until I read reviews which said the same thing. Reviewers said to get the older versions.
I decided to get the oldest I could find and have not been disappointed. We've been able to get up to 9 monkeys at a time, and my granddaughter actually wants to play the game (she didn't with the new version). It has to do with the hands of the monkeys--they changed them for some reason.
Anyway, look on ebay and get the oldest that you can find. I haven't played with the 1980s version and it might be good, but I know the 1960s one is!
