Go Nuts for Donuts

Go Nuts for Donuts is a delightful card game that has quickly become a favorite in our household. We've played it with a range of ages, from our 6-year-old to adults, and everyone has had a blast. The premise is simple: collect donuts to earn points, but the twist is that if two players select the same donut, no one gets it! This creates a fun blend of strategy and a little bit of psychological warfare, as you try to anticipate what others might choose.

The game is easy to learn and the rules are straightforward, making it perfect for family game nights. The colorful donut cards are charming and add to the overall appeal. It's a quick game, typically taking around 15-20 minutes, which keeps everyone engaged without dragging on. I particularly love the "take that" element of the game, where some donuts allow you to give negative points to your opponents. This can add a bit of friendly rivalry without being too mean-spirited.

While it's marketed for ages 8+, we've found that younger kids can still enjoy the game with a bit of assistance. It's a great opportunity to help them develop their counting skills, and they often end up winning because adults get caught up in the strategizing!

Overall, Go Nuts for Donuts is a fantastic game that combines simplicity with a surprising amount of strategy. It's a perfect choice for family game nights, gatherings with friends, or even just a quick game with one other person. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, engaging, and relatively quick game for the whole family.
