Double Donkey

A simultaneous card-shedding game where players choose dice and play donkey cards using the resulting values. The highest-valued play becomes the biggest donkey and cannot discard, so timing risk is key.

You are all donkeys. Sorry, that's how it is in this game. But being a donkey is not bad, there are plenty of others. But still, nobody wants to be the biggest donkey. So you better choose the right dice, risk a bit and quickly get rid of your donkey cards! Gameplay: Each player is dealt a deck of 10 cards. The decks are placed face down in front of each player and everyone draws 3 cards from it. Dice Phase: Roll the six dice. Choose a die and set it aside. The next person rolls the remaining five dice and sets one aside, and so on...until all dice results are determined. Card Phase: Now all players simultaneously must play 1-3 donkey-cards from their hand. The numbers on the dice determine the value of the cards (colors of the donkey-cards = value of the color dice). The player with the highest card-value is the "biggest donkey" in this round and cannot discard his cards. All other players draw new cards from their own decks. Game end: The first player to get rid of his deck (of 10 cards) is the winner!
