CMON, Mandoo Games, and Capstone HK have entered into an agreement to be able to publish the worldwide, English language version of the game
Banana Bandits. This fast playing game is all about being the first to get three of the golden banana coins and become the new king of the Banana Bandits Gang. The game will be played out on a 3D tower that you construct in the box, and has you doing simple actions like move, attack, grab coins, or draw cards. Fighting is easy and is done with a roll of the dice, with the dice being modified by cards allowing for rerolls and the like. Manage to grab two coins of different colors you can convert them into a golden banana coin, putting you one step closer to winning. Once someone hits that mark of 3 coins the game is over, and they are crowned the new king.
The game looks good on the table with an impressive 3D tower and gorilla tokens that hang off the tower. You can read more about the partnership in the press release below, and look for this game to hit shelves in quarter 2 of 2017.
CMON Limited, Mandoo Games, and Capstone HK Ltd. Partner to Publish English Language Banana Bandits
CMON Limited, Mandoo Games, and Capstone HK Ltd are pleased to announce they have entered into a licensing agreement for the exclusive, worldwide, English language rights to the upcoming game
Banana Bandits. This fun, tactile, fast-paced game of ape action is sure to be a great addition to everyone’s collection and draw an eye or two thanks to its unique, 3D tower.
In
Banana Bandits, players are vying to become the new leader of the Banana Bandits gang, a group of highly-trained, banana-loving, Gorilla Bandits. To do so, players will literally climb their way to the top of a unique, 3D cardboard tower, fighting with and stealing from other hopeful Bandits. Once a player has stolen enough Gorilla Coins and converted them into 3 Golden Banana Coins, they instantly become the new gang leader and win the game. To steal those coveted Gorilla Coins, the Bandits must attack each other using an intuitive dice system and various cards that will add bonuses during the fight. Each game is fast-paced, lasting around 30 minutes.
