Donkey Kong is a board game released in 1982 by Milton Bradley Company.[1] The game is based on the arcade game of the same name. It can be played by 2 to 4 players and is intended for ages 7 to 14. The goal of the game is to achieve the highest score by playing action cards that allow jumping over or hitting obstacles (barrels and fireballs). The game ends when a player rescues the damsel in distress. The player who rescues her receives a 500-point bonus, and then all players' scores are counted to determine the winner.
On the American version of the game's box, the baseline reads: "Just Like The Arcade Game!" The subtitle reads: "Can You Battle Donkey Kong And Save The Fair Maiden?"
