Description

I think this is a game played by almost everyone at some time in their life. Barrel Full of Monkeys may have only kept me occupied for a short time as a child, but the memories of those cute little guys linking arms still makes me smile.

From wikipedia:

Barrel of Monkeys is a toy game first created by Lakeside Toys in 1965. It was created by Leonard Marks and sold to Lakeside Toys. Today it is produced by the Milton Bradley Company within the Hasbro corporation. Milton Bradley's editions consist of a toy barrel in either blue, yellow, red, or green. The barrel contains 12 monkeys but can hold 24, their color usually corresponding to the barrel's color. The instructions on the bottom of the barrel state "Dump monkeys onto table. Pick up one monkey by an arm. Hook other arm through a second monkey's arm. Continue making a chain. Your turn is over when a monkey is dropped." In addition to these basic instructions, the barrel also contains instructions for playing alone or with two or more players.
