Monkey Business

About this expansion

Monkey Business is a 15-minute expansion for 2–6 players that adds coins, luxury junk, and new ways to spend and earn money to Spank the Monkey. Transform the junkyard into a glamorous, blinged-out workplace while racing to be the first player to spank the monkey.

Each player begins with one coin, then builds their supply throughout the game. Coins can pay for cards such as the Insurance Policy and Sexy Monkey Outfit, cover upkeep for certain Junk and Reinforcement cards, or purchase extra cards beyond the normal draw. The first card bought during a turn costs 1 coin, the second costs 2, the third costs 3, and so on.

Money is only useful if you can keep earning it. Some Junk cards, including the Oil Tower and Bank Note Printing Press, provide income each turn while they remain in your tower. You may also sell one Junk card from your hand per turn, earning coins equal to that card’s Strength.

• Pay for special cards and extra card draws.
• Manage upkeep for Junk and Reinforcement cards in your tower.
• Earn income from money-making Junk cards.
• Sell one Junk card each turn for coins based on its Strength.

Monkey Business also introduces the new Luxury Junk category, bringing extravagant treasures such as a Limo, Spa, and Inflatable Bouncing Castle to the junkyard. With cash driving your choices, every turn becomes a balance between building your tower, maintaining your cards, and saving enough money for the decisive play.

Designed for quick, competitive sessions, Monkey Business expands the original game with a playful money-management twist and a lavish new collection of junk.
