That would take the boredom out of geography study. Or look at the adaptation by Julianne Homokay-Ron Barnett. Board Game version of the same book/movie (Jackie Chan not the only one out there) is great and add high-speed trains and the Hawaii Superferry so that the island nations in the Pacific can be included! What do you think about this way to overcome the boredom of geography?
did an online search and Michael Rieneck designed that board game - contact him and get him to add the Hawaii Superferry of the one made by Derecktor Shipyards in CT...Bering Strait Tunnel has been suggested by several people - game board version is easy enough to do.
Answer
One of the board games is from Kosmos, and maybe Toys-R-Us can get it. But I got a good idea (2nd one below) right here on YA for updating that game: Following in Jules Verne's footsteps, players (in one board game adaptation) wager on their ability to travel around the world in 80 days. Whoever makes it back to London with the greatest number of days left in his time bank is the winner. Two suggestions for an update:
1. Use of high-speed trains and high-speed ferries could make it Around the World in 8 Days, or just 18 days with still time to stop and talk to the locals.
2. The tunnel under the English Channel would be easily replicated by adding a dual train route to the travel options from England. Keep in mind that this will allow the potential for reduced travel time (by playing two identical train cards). If it becomes broken, you may need to rule that the reduction does not apply for the Chunnel Route. As for a Bering Tunnel (Yokohama to San Francisco), the best solution would seem to be a 3 train route (allowing for travel time reduction for 2 cards only). Maybe 2 train, 1 ship (train to Russia, train under the tunnel, boat to San Francisco)? By implementing these additions, you will make train travel cards considerably more valuable and desirable. That will have an impact on play strategy.
Maybe a YouTube person can take this on?

Answer
No - you can't "tell it literally loves the family". What on earth makes you think you are able to make that judgement?
IMonkeys are extremely social animals and being part of a social group is nearly as essential for their psychological well-being as having food or water or space to move around in. When people keep monkeys as pets, the monkeys are taken as infants from their mothers - years before they would naturally become independent. This is not just a little bit sad. It is scientifically proven that maternal deprivation can actually hinder proper brain development - and also that monkeys hand-reared by humans frequently (possibly always) develop severe psychological abnormalities that are sometimes impossible to correct in later life. No matter how much a person WANTS to be a good substitute for a monkey mother, it just does not work, and it has negative consequences for the monkey. Why would a person inflict that on another creature that they supposedly care about? It's really very selfish and yes - cruel.
Consistent, quality care is almost impossible for a pet owner to provide. Monkeys in the wild spend all day, every day travelling, climbing, leaping, foraging, grooming one another in a vast and complex tropical habitat. They need the right temperature, the right food, the right humidity, and without these things they can (and often do) develop serious health issues, like diabetes or metabolic bone disease. How is a person expected to provide all these things to a monkey living in their home?
Please don't believe the half-truths and full-on lies that people with an interest in keeping pet monkeys tend to spread around. They are all based on wilful ignorance, selfishness, and have nothing to do with genuine love of monkeys as amazing, intelligent wild animals. Monkeys deserve to have natural lives in the habitats that they have adapted to over thousands of years, and to make choices about their own lives. They are not little servants or dolls or toys, or even cats or dogs. Nobody wants to take any "rights" away from people concerning what they can or can not own - but monkeys are not THINGS that you should have a right to own! They are living, conscious, emotional wild animals. People need to learn how to respect this!
