The following are released in the UK this week:

BOARD & CARD GAMES
[snip]

Cheeky Monkey (2-6 Players; Ages 7+)
Face 2 Face Games

- would you/anyone know, yet, whether this is a board game,
a card game - or a - ? - ?

Well from what I can gather there are a load of poker chips with animals
on them (8 types of animal). You draw the chips from a bag until you
decide to stop or you bust (get a match - in which case they go back
in the bag). There are some special rules if you match the top chip of
someone else's stack or get a cheeky monkey. Scoring is 1VP per chip
+ bonus if you have the majority of a species.

So it looks as though it is a push you luck game.
