Each player has 3 apes who race around a rock-strewn fieldm trying to get to the Baobab first. (The Baobab is a tree found in the savannas of Africa and India, mostly around the equator. It can grow up to 65 feet tall and can live for several thousand years. The Baobab is leafless for nine months of the year). Movement is controlled by a special die which determines whether your ape can walk upright, walk on all fours, climb a rock, or swing from the trees. A panther occasionally comes out and frightens the apes away. - BoardGameGeek
