Snake Shira has stolen the monkey treasure and hidden it in the jungle. The monkeys search for the treasure and want to return it to the monkey king.

All monkeys are placed on the first step of the stairs. The treasure gems are distributed in the box bottom and covered with the jungle board. The treasure hunter begins his search in one corner of the board.

You roll all banana dice and may move the treasure hunter as many steps as bananas are visible. This you may do three times in your turn. If you hear a distinctive “klack” you have found a treasure and call “monkey alarm”. If you have steps or dice rolls left after picking up the treasure you can move with the treasure towards the bolt-hole. If you manage to reach the bolt-hole you take out the treasure. The treasure hunter is placed in a corner for the next player and the treasure is placed on a log beside the stairs. Depending on the colour of the salvaged treasure gem you score points and you may move your monkey that number of steps up the stairs.

But if you lose the treasure on the way to the bolt-hole, you must shove it back into the jungle and your move ends. The next player now rolls the die and moves the treasure hunter. If your turn ends before you reach the bolt-hole the next player carries on from where you left.

When all logs beside the stairs hold a treasure you win if your monkey is nearest to the monkey king. If you reach the king before all logs hold a treasure, you win instantly.

In Schatz-Alarm clever use of magnetism and very attractive game components team up for a fantastic family game with simple rules.
