The crocodile down in the river is hungry and unfortunately loves coconuts and bananas, which are exactly the kind of fruits that parrots and monkeys are carrying across the bridge with some none too stable planks, and the crocodile wants to push them off.

The bridge is assembled, parrots of one players are set on the platform with the blue rope, the monkeys of the other player on the side with the orange-colored rope and must reach the opposing side of the bridge with their fruits. That is at least what the story tells, in reality there are no fruits in the game, it's just monkeys and parrots that need to reach the other side.

In Level 1 you play with three men; if you are first to have two of them across the bridge you win. You push the crocodile towards one of the bridge planks - when the plank topples you can move all your men the number of steps stated by the bridge. Men that fall off go, even if they are your own, go back to the start. When the crocodile topples two planks, the lower number of the two designates the number of steps. Two of your men cannot share the same plank, you put the arriving man further on onto the next available plank. The middle plank is safe, it cannot topple. In Level 2 the number on the plank indicates the total number of steps, you can move one man or split the move among several men. In Level 3 you play with five men and must get 3 across.

Good fun for children, they can play alone, too, and the game provides good training for hand-eye-coordination and dosage of pushing power; and there are tactical considerations, too - how can I place my men to advance furthest?
