From the publisher:

Monkey in the Middle is a fun skill and action game that lets players take chances with the roll of the dice. With a delightfully illustrated game board, players try to roll their monkey dice into the special "Banana Zone" to earn Banana Scoring Chips. But if you roll too hard one of your monkeys may fall into the middle and be gone! A unique way for little ones to practice counting and grouping and to interact with each other.
