“The objective of the game is pick as many bananas from the tree as possible without knocking it over. The game includes a buildable tree, a LEGO die, a monkey and a dozen bananas. This set was discontinued, as most orders for the set were recalled.”

Board Game Geek
“The name Banana Balance pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this game: It involves bananas and balancing. Any time you can't do a yellow or green action, you take a monkey action instead. If no bananas are on the tree, you can steal a banana from an... More opponent.”
