Tumblin' Monkeys Acquire

We found a game room when walking around in Suwon, and they had some pretty unique games for us to choose from. On the wall they had what appeared to be something similar to Monopoly, aka Acquire, but there was this giant man in a business suit towering over all these buildings and grabbing for them with his hands. It made me think of the guy who does all those deep voices for commercials (including Geico) just saying "ACQUIRE" as this ultra-obv business suity man dominated the business district.

And then, there was Tumblin' Monkeys, our game of choice. They had these giant mallets for people to hit each other when when they messed up in certain games, and this was one of them. It was hilarious. There were some fairly large groups of Koreans there, and all of a sudden we would hear this "squeak squeak squeak"  with lots of laughter as someone was being shamed for messing up in a game by getting knocked on the head with one of those things. We followed suit, and it made the games more fun for sure. Ironically, I feel safer here than anywhere I have ever felt in my life on a daily basis, but they are unusually violent within themselves. From one extreme to the next I guess, such is my life. Either way, this was great entertainment.

These were my monkeys. I won. Yeessssss.
