A fast paced 2-player dice game with cocks, bulls and monkeys on the faces of the dice. Players try to place six 2-sided chips on a wooden game board that has an antique feel. When you roll pairs of monkeys, cocks or bulls, you place down or flip over a chip in the appropriate spot on the board. Strategy comes in when you roll a cock & bull, you can either score one point on the pegboard, or remove one of your opponents chips. Bonus points are scored on the pegboard after you capture an area on the board with chips. When you roll 1 monkey your turn is over. There are two ways to win, either get all six chips on the game board, or move your wooden peg from start to finish.

The original edition of this game was hand made and self-published by F. M. Smith beginning in 2009. The heavy wooden game boards are all signed and numbered personally by the creator. The game pieces fit inside a small cloth game bag included with the boards.

The 2014 edition, published by Blue Panther, has a two-piece game board with wooden cubes to mark the scores, replacing the wooden pegboard of the original 2009 First Edition. This edition is easily identified by its smaller sized tan colored box with black lettering.

The 2018 classic edition, also published by Blue Panther, has a one-piece game board with peg holes like the original. The box also includes a piece of felt in the bottom converting it into a dice tray. This edition comes in a 9 x 12 black box with white lettering.
