rootbeer,

You should post your screenshot here in this comment section so that there's a record in the GeekList of what happened on April 1, 2007.

Here's a shot: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/199876

I'd have it display here, but I forget the tag for that, and BGG's auto-tag buttons are missing. :(
2. Board Game: Monkey Auto Races [Average Rating:5.95 Unranked]

It's only fun until someone loses an eye...

I had to withdraw my rating of ten due to an accident of an occular nature.

A sad reminder to always listen to your mom. Get well soon, Chuckie (The Cyclops) Smith!

I'm taking a minor credit here for being the one to add this "game" to BGG. I'm usually one of the silent lurkers here on BGG and I never thought when I added this that anyone would notice it let alone make it the target of an April Fools joke. Well done Jesse, and thanks for inspiring me to seek out other gaming oddities. Oh and MONKEYS RULE!

Thanks, PsyJam. Eventually I'll post an article with the details of how everything went down. If you have any specific questions, fire away.

The GeekList page is apparently cached, because it's still showing MAR ranked #1, even though the MAR page now shows it at #702. Sadly, they will soon flip-flop here. :( Ah, well, it was fun while it lasted.

Did anyone saw that Catan is on fifth place as Die Siedler von Catan and on sixth as Settlers of Catan. Funny thing that both games have exactly the same Average, but the number of votes is very diferrent.

Also, the gameid for Die Siedler von Catan does not exist anymore.
