About Ape Town, from BoardGameGeek:

Since the apes have taken over, the atmosphere in the southern coastal town has been harsh. Gangs armed with bananas roam the dark alleys in search of attractive trading points. At the same time, new primates flock to the city, laying claim to the most promising territories. Unsurprisingly, conflicts are a daily business in Ape Town, and the local bosses regularly assert their power – that is, until other alpha animals enter the arena to impose themselves. Only the loopy lemurs can help, acting as mediators to ensure peace and order, while also vying for influence in neighboring territories with their cunning approach. Keep a close eye on the evolution of the city because only those involved with profitable territories stand a chance of becoming the most influential silverback.
