About 10 years ago I got annoyed during a game night because I spent more time waiting for my turn than actually playing.

For some reason, my brain decided the logical solution was:

"Make an entire card game about monkeys stealing bananas where nobody has to wait their turn."

A decade later... somehow that joke has become a real game called Bananarchy.

It's full of banana puns, mischievous monkeys, rotten bananas, sabotage, and enough potassium to make your doctor slightly concerned.

We're down to our final 48 hours on Kickstarter, and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here who has encouraged the ridiculous banana content over the years. This is probably the most supportive place on Reddit for people with an unhealthy fascination with bananas.

If you'd like to see what happens when someone spends ten years taking bananas far too seriously, here's the campaign.

Either way, thanks for proving that there are enough banana enthusiasts on the internet to make this seem like a reasonable life decision.

Stay ripe. 🍌

Our artist provided some drafts for two different cards for the Bananarchy Mystery Monkey expansion.

1. Maltese Monkey

2. A Crime Scene (I definitely need suggesitons for a more fitting monkey name)

For both cards, which draft do you like better and why?

Also if you have suggestions on anything to change or add please let me know so I can pass it along to our artist.

We are Sponsoring a Monkey! We just unlocked a new reward on our Bananarchy Kickstarter Campaign and I wanted to share it with everyone because I am so excited about it! Look how adorable they are!

We've got a fun activity where backers can vote on which one to adopt on our latest Update #13.

Monkeys and their shenanigans were one of our biggest inspirations and I thought it was only fair to give back to the Monkeys.

Hey folks! Need feedback on this card for our game Bananarchy.

- What do you think of the title?

- Any changes to the art to improve it?

- What would this card do?

The game is all about trying to collect the most points in Banana cards using Monkey cards to snatch, steal, smash, or otherwise sabotage the other players.

Monkey Cards have four types: Action that can only be played on the players turn, Anytime that can be played anytime, Reaction to block players, and Scoring which are hidden cards to add value at the end of the game.

Hello folks! I am looking for feedback on this card. It's for our game Bananarchy and the idea is players use Monkey Cards to collect Banana cards. Most Banana Cards have a value of 0, 1, 2 or 3 and if they get smashed all Banana Cards turn over to -1 on the back.

The game is fast paced and chaotic and players can play at anytime to steal or sabotage their opponents. I need an idea of what this card could do if it got smashed. I'm worried if the effect is too crazy, like making everyones bananas rotten, it might result in the game being too unbalanced since the scores will quickly become negative.

Also do you think the art is radioactive looking enough?

Thanks for the help, the monkeys and I appreciate it!

Banana lovers! I need to know if this is a game that you would play? Do you like the art? Do you enjoy party games? Do you like smashing, snacking, stealing and otherwise sabotaging players bananas? If so please let me know! There are lots of Bananas for scale.

Bananarchy is live on Kickstarter now.

I've designed a card game called Bananarchy and there is an expansion pack called Chaos Theory. I'm looking for new ideas that are science themed that would be fun to have the Monkey characters doing. Help me reddit! Looking forward to hearing what you come up with!

ps. The art you see is the actual art for the game to give you an idea of what it looks like and the cartoony style. It was hand drawn and is not AI.

I am preparing to launch my Kickstarter and want to share the launch page preview with people to get feedback. However, currently the page does not display any of the rewards. The section is entirely blank! I've contacted Kickstarter and all they have said is that they are working on it. I want to know if this is a larger issue or it's just my page. I'm supposed to go live in 4 days and this seems concerning!

Our artist is going to do final touch ups on the How to Play section of our Bananarchy Kickstarter page. I've looked at it so many times I think I'm going cross eyed. :P Looking to get feedback on the flow and if everything makes sense. Also any spelling or art things I may have missed would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

After years of creating games in my spare time as a hobby I am finally launching my business with my first ever card game, Bananarchy! The release is on Kickstarter in just seven days!

As I get closer and closer to the date of the launch I'm curious what veteran founders have for advice? What final details should I focus on now and also for the future to ensure this is a long lasting success and something I can be proud to call my career for years to come? Thanks in advance for all your insights. I truly appreciate every one.

Thank you to the community for helping me me share my first ever game Bananarchy! As a small indie developer who initially had no intention of ever launching a game I can't believe it's only 7 days away from going live on Kickstarter! It feels surreal!

The creator of this community was kind enough to invite me onto the podcast to be one of the inaugural episodes and I am really looking forward to seeing it come out. In the meantime, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported this journey so far whether with advice, support, or with a simple follow and share. Your support means a lot to me!

Banana lovers! I need to know if this is a game that you would play? Do you like the art? Do you enjoy party games? Do you like smashing, snacking, stealing and otherwise sabotaging players bananas? If so please let me know! There are lots of Bananas for scale.

Bananarchy launches on Kickstarter on May 26th.

I'm making a card game called Bananarchy and this is for a card named "Closed" with the idea that the Monkey can't get anymore bananas because the shop is all closed up. Which of A or B do you like better? Also please tell me why so I can understand your reasoning?

If you have any art critiques or changes I welcome those as well as I can ask the artist to make changes if need be.

For reference, if you want you can compare the art style to our current game art here: https://bananarchylaunch.pickupandplaygames.com/

Hey folks! I'm brand new to using Table Top Simulator but I am very impressed with how easy it is to get things loaded up. I still have no idea how to share my game with others though or if it is even ready for that? Or really any idea how to program it. I'm definitely no code guru.

Still would love to get some folks together to try it out! Anyone interested?

Also interested in videos, tips, or advice.

I'm supposed to go on a Podcast this weekend to talk about my game and the upcoming Kickstarter but I haven't even really tried using TS to play it yet! Eeek! The game is called Bananarchy and it's a chaotic party card game where three to eight players smash, stash, snack and sabotage their way to collecting the most Bananas.

Help! If I can only print two of these Bananarchy play mats in our game which should I choose and why? I would appreciate if you rate them from 1 (your favourite) - 4 (the least favourite) and then share your reasoning!

ps. thanks to everyone who contributed to the previous post to get the mats to this point! Your insights really helped! Please feel free to also point out any feedback on these versions.
