- A fun, suspenseful game, Orangutwang will have kids jumping and laughing for more!
- Just visually, Orangutwang is a super cool game with its two tall palm trees connected by a string, the colorful and quirky toucan lever, the bright playing pieces shaped like fruit or critters, and the giant, amused orangutan that hangs from the string!
- To play the game, simply roll the die to find out which play piece you get to hang on the orangutan (banana, pineapple, gecko, fruit bat or coconut).
- Be careful how you hang it…at some point it will be too much for the orangutan and he’ll leap and swing and go twaaaannng!
- The player who makes the orangutan go flying and throw his fruit and friends technically loses the game, but do they really lose?
- It’s fun and hilarious to see him go twang, so really all the players are winners!
