Cheeky Monkey*
Cheeky Monkey is a gambling game featuring eight sets of animals, including elephants, seals, and monkeys, represented by plastic chips. Players draw chips until they decide to stop or draw a duplicate of an animal already collected, returning their current chips to the bag in the latter case. Special rules allow players to steal matching animal chips from opponents or trade monkeys for chips on top of their opponents' stacks, with the game ending once the last chip is added and bonus points awarded for the most chips of a single type.
