## Description
Get ready for a wild and cheaty race in "Ebola Monkey Hunt"! Released in 1998, this game is one of those DIY experiences, following the Cheapass kit style. The idea is simple: you're a researcher in a facility full of unruly monkeys. The goal is to capture one monkey at a time and bring it back to the cage. But beware, the competition is fierce and anything goes to get there first!

You'll have tranquilizer darts to sabotage your fellow researchers, steal monkeys they've already caught, or simply prevent them from returning to base. Each captured monkey might grant you a special power, but watch out! They also come with unfriendly traits that can mess things up if you fail a roll test. The game unfolds on a grid map representing the facility, with four strategic spots to find the primates. "Ebola Monkey Hunt" is a light racing and fighting game, where luck and direct player interaction are the main spice. It's a quick option, with games lasting around 60 minutes for 3 to 6 players, ideal for those who enjoy a dose of chaos and fun without too much complexity.
