Above: Again, monkeys + booze = hilarity
What it is:
It's a party game in which four day-glo colored monkeys compete in sadistic events like throwing paint balloons at an angry gorilla, destroying one another's life rafts, or guessing which suspended crate does not contain a hippo about to fall out and flatten them.
Why it's perfect:
It's made for kids, so anyone can play. But more importantly, the ability to torture your friends - in the form of monkeys - is darkly satisfying. In our favorite example, every monkey sits in an electric chair and you win the chance to send a high-voltage shock coursing through an opponent's fragile simian frame. Even when you aren't directly hurting the other guy, they almost invariably suffer pain when they lose and you win. That makes it special fun.
Where does the booze go?
Making the loser drink at the end of each round is the best way. That way, you can get all survivor and form illicit partnerships as well.
