Donkey

This is another post in the series of card games that were popular in my family. The game of Donkey (the name is also used for some other card games, but let me explain the version I know) is similar but different to the game that some people call Spoons, and the thing that makes it extra fun is that receiving chocolate to eat is integral to the rules.

Alright, the chocolate isn’t really integral. But tokens are, and the tokens we usually used were M&Ms or Smarties, hence the comment about the chocolate. Coins will do just as well, but don’t make the game quite as exciting.
