Once upon a time, Hungry Monkey looked for his lost breakfast bean in the jungle. He asked the other animals for assistance, from Swift Sparrow to King Tiger, but they all ignored his pleas. Until Tiny Ant climbed in Tiger's ear and ordered him to help. King Tiger was scared by the voice within his ear. He commanded all animals to search for the bean, and no one dared to refuse. Eventually, Swift Sparrow located the bean, and Hungry Monkey was finally happy.

Hungry Monkey is a card game where the objective is to get rid of your hand cards and collect beans. You have animal cards both in hand as well as in a face-down row. You must be the first one to play all your cards, first from your hand and then from your card row.

You will have to play cards with the same or a higher number. You may trigger an effect with a powerful animal.

If you wish to play multiple games you keep track of the scoring with Bean cards. The player with the most beans at the end of the last game is the winner.
