Description
Welcome to Code Monkey Island, the board game designed to teach players of all ages computer science logic! As the wise leader of your own tribe of monkeys, it’s up to you to guide all three of your monkeys safely around the board and into the banana grove. You’ll have to use concepts like conditional statements, looping, booleans, assignment operators and more to earn moves for your monkeys, dodge quicksand traps, and score some delicious fruit along the way! After its successful Kickstarter campaign, Code Monkey Island is being used in thousands of homes and classrooms around the world, helping children and adults alike discover the magic and fun of coding.

Watching the video definitely helped to understand the instructions. It also helps if you have one parent per every three or four kids. We adjusted the rules to start the monkeys halfway around so that we could finish the game within the half-hour. Playing with only two monkeys each (with the third already in the banana grove) might also help it go faster. Kids liked this one.
