Well from what I can gather there are a load of poker chips with animals
on them (8 types of animal).  You draw the chips from a bag until you
decide to stop or you bust (get a match - in which case they go back
in the bag).  There are some special rules if you match the top chip of 
someone else's stack or get a cheeky monkey.  Scoring is 1VP per chip
+ bonus if you have the majority of a species.

So it looks as though it is a push you luck game.

	- *g*  - thanks;

	listed under "family games"? [1]

	[a] - i don't have that particular category yet

Yep - a kids game with a bit of strategy.  Certainly playable by families 
or drunk adults.
