About the game
Coconuts is a dexterity game themed around the Monkey King, in which players launch coconuts from a spring-loaded catapult toward a field of cups. Landing a coconut in your own cup lets you stack it toward a pyramid; landing in someone else's steals it for yourself. Monkey King Magic cards let players disrupt opponents by forcing blind shots or awkward angles. First to build a six-cup pyramid wins.
