Ape Town

About this board game

Ape Town is a board game for 2–4 players, with a playing time of about 60 minutes, set in a southern coastal city ruled by apes.

The atmosphere is harsh, and dark alleys are patrolled by gangs armed with bananas. As new primates arrive, they claim promising territories and intensify the daily struggle for control. Local bosses assert their power, but rival alpha animals are always ready to enter the arena.

Players must keep a close eye on the city’s evolution and the territories surrounding them. Influence is tied to involvement in profitable territories, making the contest for the best locations central to the race to become the most influential silverback.

• Compete for promising and profitable territories.
• Navigate conflicts between gangs, local bosses, and alpha animals.
• Use the loopy lemurs as mediators seeking peace, order, and influence.

The lemurs bring an unusual twist to Ape Town’s tense power struggle. They work to mediate conflicts and maintain peace and order, while also pursuing their own influence in neighboring territories through a cunning approach.

With gangs roaming the city, new primates establishing claims, and powerful animals challenging existing leaders, every part of Ape Town reflects a changing balance of power. Watch how the city develops, stay connected to valuable territories, and strive to rise above the competition.

In this atmospheric contest of influence, only those involved with the most profitable territories stand a chance of earning the title of the city’s dominant silverback.
