Perfect for playing card collectors, game players and simian aficionados.

With characters like Baron Andrew Oolong the Ghost Hunter, François Hyperbarique the Sub-Aether Explorer, Major Manny Minuscule the Micro Militiaman and Captain Uther Wigglesgig the Zombie Whisperer, playing card games has never been more monkey-licious.
