Challenge your friends! Who will last longer and be the leader of the pack? Gorilas!!! is a climbing card game: choose your favorite wall, choose your rivals and the game mode... who will be the winning Gorilla?
Gorilas!!! consists of 80 cards representing more than 20 different actions. The instructions are in Galician, Spanish, and English. It is a game for both children and adults. Ideally, it is designed for playing and training on your climbing gym's density wall, but you can adapt it to your favorite wall!
Gorilas has different game modes: Gorilla boulder, leader of the pack, colorblind gorillas, gorilla duel… Depending on the game mode, from 2 players can play to as many as can fit on the wall!
In Gorilas, you will have to repeat the movements indicated by the cards on the wall. To prepare the game, simply choose the game mode you want to play and decide who will be the Comfy Gorilla, i.e., the person who will not be climbing.
This person will draw the cards one by one, announcing the movements that the players will have to repeat, adapting to each game mode (see modes below). In each round, you can change the Comfy Gorilla.
And, what kind of cards will you find in the game?
Cards that indicate foot and hand movements, they can order you to move only one foot or one hand, two feet or two hands, or one foot and one hand at the same time. Their value is +1 or +2.
The cards can instruct the gorillas playing to put their feet or hands together on the same hold. These cards are worth +2 points.
The Comfy Gorilla can also order you to hold the position you are in. You might have to hold for 5″ or 10″. These cards are worth +2 and +3 points.
The cards increase in difficulty, can you hold on? Some cards will force you to cross your feet and hands, to hang by your hands, or to release one hand. These cards are worth +3 or +4 points.
Heel hook, foot-hand, bicycle, flag... the game gets more technical, are you still holding on to the wall? These cards are all worth +4 points.
Do the Gorilla! The last of the movements gives the game its name: release both hands at the same time and grab two other holds simultaneously. These cards are the most valuable of all the movements. +5 points.
You've held on so long that you deserve a prize. With the Banana card, you can reposition yourself however you want, but beware! With the Elbow card, the Comfy Gorilla can choose any movement they want the players to make.
Finally, the Block Cards are used in the Gorilla Boulder game mode to mark holds and create boulders.
