Overview

In this card game fun is guaranteed! Each player tries to get rid of his cards as quickly as possible so that other players receive lots of negative points. The twist is that high cards are much easier to get rid of one, but bring more negative points! And then there are also ox and donkeys, which can really mess up your plans when you unwittingly have to take them. One thing is clear: at the end, someone is always the donkey!
