Macoco – Lightning-fast card hunting! – Reaction requested! From 8 years

Big laughter, wild screams, loud clapping… … yes, are we in the jungle? No, we play MACOCO! The lightning-fast card hunt Whoever gambles with the cheeky monkey says the right thing first and doesn't screw up a lot, and made up nasty words for “Macoco”, has a lot to laugh about – and wins! Macoco Macoco is the cheekiest monkey in his area and always causes a commotion in the jungle. He can also speak a little, as Macoco is often out in the treetops with the parrots that gave him his name. SIMPLE RULE – BUT AWESOME MACOCO is quickly understood thanks to the super easy rule and is suitable for every occasion. Whether at a game evening with friends and/or family, at birthdays or on vacation - MACOCO in its small box can be taken anywhere! Also ideal as a gift or souvenir. PERCEPTION IS NECESSARY: MACOCO is a card game about quick perception and lightning-fast reaction. Cards are played in turn on which the following must be recognized: Which animal or fruit can be seen most often? Is there even a majority? Or is there a big coconut in the middle? THE FASTEST WINS Whoever recognizes quickly which announcement or action counts at the moment and carries it out first wins the card. Whoever has the most cards at the end wins the game! BRAIN TWISTERS It gets even funnier and trickier with the MACOCO EXTREME rule, in which the monkey is repeatedly given a new, funny “name” that everyone has to remember, even though it keeps changing ;-) Wakes up the gray cells again ! JUNGLE THEME The game is beautifully illustrated: monkeys, sloths, toucans and snakes can be seen in the depths of the rainforest grabbing bananas, mangoes, coconuts and pineapples. How to play: The sixty cards are distributed evenly. Everyone holds their package face down in one hand. On your turn, you play your top card face up... so that everyone can see it clearly. The first person to recognize and state loudly and clearly what matters at this moment wins the card. If two or more call out the right word at the same time, or if they all call out the wrong word, the card remains on the table and the next card is played. What can you see on the maps? - Majorities: If 2 or 3 identical fruits or animals are in the majority, the word – e.g. banana – must be called out. - If the light gray monkey has the majority, MACOCO* must be called. - Tie = no majority: here 2 x toucan and 2 x pineapple. In this case, NADA! be called. - When the big coconut appears, you have to slap on this card as quickly as possible! The “bottom hand” gets the card! You cannot correct yourself if the name/action is incorrect! Whoever has the most cards at the end wins! It gets even funnier and trickier with the MACOCO EXTREME rule, in which the monkey is repeatedly given a new, funny “name” that everyone has to remember, even though it keeps changing ;-) Wakes up the gray cells again !
