Double Donkey

Players take on the roles of donkeys competing to rid themselves of cards. Each player receives a face-down deck of ten cards and draws a three-card hand. A drafting phase follows where six dice are rolled in sequence: each player in turn selects one die result and sets it aside until all dice values are fixed. Then all players simultaneously play one to three donkey cards from hand; card colors correspond to dice-colored values. The player who plays the highest total becomes the round’s “biggest donkey” and cannot discard that round, while the others draw back up from their decks. The game ends when one player empties their deck.
