Game Overview: Coconuts, or As Much Fun As Four Monkeys in a Barrel

Game Overview: Coconuts, or As Much Fun As Four Monkeys in a Barrel
Board Game: Coconuts
Okay, time to start posting a video game overviews again, just in time for me to head off to Nürnberg, Germany where I'll record dozens more such overviews at Spielwarenmesse 2014, the annual toy and game fair at which publishers show off what they plan to release over the next 6-12 months. I've been compiling a list of these games, as well as games that will be shown at NY Toy Fair in mid-February 2014. If you want to see shots of these games earlier than anyone else, you can follow me on Twitter or friend me on Facebook. I'll also post a round-up on BGG News as time and online access allow.

For now, though, you can enjoy this overview of a brain burner that debuted at Spiel 2013, Walter Schneider's Coconuts from Koreaboardgames:



Times played: Six, all with four players as every empty seat fills as soon as I start setting up the game

Thanks to Koreaboardgames for providing a review copy of the game!
