In Monkeys on the Moon, players advance monkey civilizations, acquire monkeys through bidding, and launch them back home to Earth. Each player seeks to bring freedom to the most influential monkeys in order to gain glory in the homeland. The path to victory lies in launching the most monkeys from the most advanced civilizations. This will be easiest if you keep your favor among the tribes high and – when possible – well balanced.
Tribal favor is represented by the possession of Favor Coins, and it is these coins that are used to bid on monkeys. If you completely run out of Favor for a tribe, you run the risk of incurring Monkey Scorn. Scorn makes it more difficult to acquire monkeys, and also costs you Victory Points if you still have it when the game ends.
Monkeys won through bidding are placed on space ships and eventually launched home. Players earn bonuses if they pay attention to monkey rivalries and manage to fill up their ships before launching them back to Earth.
At the end of the game, each tribe grants titles to certain players. These titles translate to Victory Points. The player with the most Victory Points wins.
