Reif für die Insel*
* 
Reif für die Insel ("Ripe for the Island") is a clever bidding game from Zoch in which precocious monkeys compete for late-ripening bananas, for families aged 8+ with 3 to 6 players. Coconuts are the deciding argument over who gets the tastiest fruit.
Throw plenty of coconuts and you can keep rivals away from the biggest treats – but patience often beats greed. Sometimes you simply have to wait until the green fruit turns golden-ripe rather than watch others feast. At heart the game teaches what every monkey already knows: time is just a banana.
