Go Nuts for Donuts!
Time to take the donuts!
Will you go for a stellar cruller or grab a glorious glazed? A double chocolate is sure to score, but in the long run Boston Cream may be worth more! Choose carefully – if two or more players go for the same donut, nobody gets it!
What’s in the box?
- 70 donuts cards
- 42 player cards
- 7 donut row markers
How to play:
A game takes place over several rounds. To start a round, each player secretly picks which card they want from the donut row by taking a selection card from their hand and placing it face down in front of them. The numbers on your selection cards represent the position of the card in the row.
Once each player has a selection card face down in front of them, everyone simultaneously reveals it. Then, starting with the lowest selection number and counting up, players look to see if they get to take the card:
- If two or more players picked the same card, no one gets it! Immediately discard that card to the discard pile.
- If you are the only player to pick a card, take it from the donut row and place it face up in front of you.
If a card has a star at the corners of its description border, that means it has a special power that must be activated immediately when it is taken from the donut row.
When all of the selected cards have been taken (and all powers have been resolved), refill the empty spaces in numerical order with cards from the donut deck. All players should take back their selection cards into their hands and begin a new round, which plays out just like the previous one.
The game ends when there are not enough donuts in the donut deck to fully replenish the donut row. At that point, each player counts up their points and the player with the highest total is the winner!
Bonus!
Go Nuts for Donuts reinforces visual discrimination or strategic thinking.
