== Materials required ==

 

 

* A chessboard.

 

== Setting up ==

 

* The white spaces in your first two rows are the cages where your monkeys are kept (inexplicably left unlocked; maybe the space monkeys have secret mind powers?). Place your monkeys among these spaces however you wish.

== Playing the game ==

 

 

Players take turns; each player moves one piece on his or her turn.

 

Monkeys and occupied ships move diagonally one space forward or backward, and may jump over pieces belonging to the opponent; monkeys can jump over other monkeys, and ships (with monkeys on board) can jump over other ships (with or without monkeys), but monkeys by themselves can't jump over ships and vice versa. Note that the monkeys are placed on the white spaces and the ships on the black spaces, so they generally won't interact (but see below). (Jump means the same as it does in checkers, though double or multiple jumps are not allowed.)
