This game greatly enhances reaction and speed, as you need to carefully follow the course of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The name of the game is also interesting, as it comes from the well-known animal \u2013 the donkey! It's no secret that sometimes this animal's name is used to describe a not very smart, clumsy, naive person who likes to laugh a lot, so playing &#8220;Donkey&#8221; will require attention and reaction!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This game is really fun and makes you laugh, but be careful, don't be the first to become a donkey!

Depending on the number of players, you need to choose the same number of a certain type of card.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, if playing with two people \u2013 take aces and kings, if three \u2013 aces, kings, and jacks, if four \u2013 aces, kings, jacks, and queens, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Objective of the Game<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To collect 4 cards of the same type (all kings, queens, jacks, or others) and not be the first to become the &#8220;Donkey&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In this video, we can see the same game but instead of placing a hand, a spoon is taken.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to play Donkey in playing cards @ABDs-ESBG\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RqxYeJAil5I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Game_Progress\"><\/span><b>Game Progress<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A total of six rounds are played (the word &#8220;Donkey&#8221; consists of exactly 6 letters). Players sit comfortably in a circle, the cards are carefully shuffled and dealt to each player.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Players must secretly decide which type of cards they want to collect. The choice should be based on the type of cards you receive the most. If it happens that all the received cards are different, you need to try your luck and guess which type of cards to collect, hoping that the opponent will not choose the same cards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first player selects the least needed card and, turning it face down, passes it to the player on the left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The game friend takes the card, checks if it suits them, and if so, keeps it and passes a selected face-down card from their pile to the next player. If the card does not suit, the same face-down card can be passed to another player.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This continues in a circle until one of the players collects all 4 cards. The winner, having collected the same cards, places their palm or fist with a raised thumb in the center of the circle, and the other players who notice this must also repeat the action. The last player to place their fist or palm on the table remains the &#8220;Donkey&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Usually, the loser of the round receives only the first letter of this word &#8220;D&#8221;. The game is lost by the one who first collects the word &#8220;Donkey&#8221;. The main word of the game can be changed to another, especially if children are playing \u2013 most often &#8220;Piglet&#8221; is chosen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How to Win?<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The main trick to help win is a very quick reaction. Although the game is easy and fun, sometimes injuries occur if players have very long nails.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Who Won?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The winner is the player who does not become the &#8220;Donkey&#8221; and collects the fewest letters of this word. Traditionally, the losing player crawls under the table and must repeat the sound made by a donkey &#8220;Y-a, Y-a, Ya&#8221; three times.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Similar_Card_Games\"><\/span><strong>Similar Card Games<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Donkey card game has several similar games that are also fun and dynamic, suitable for playing with family or friends.
