## What is Donkey Card Game?

There's no winner here. Only a Donkey.

Donkey Card Game is Kazhutha, the card game Kerala has played for generations on verandas, in clubs and at chaayakadas. Shed every card before the regulars do. The last player left holding cards is the Donkey.

HOW IT WORKS
• The Ace of Spades starts, and everyone plays the suit of the first card.
• Can't follow? Play any card to strike: the round stops, and whoever played the highest card of that suit picks up the whole pile.
• Empty your hand to go safe. Don't be the last one holding cards.

FIVE TABLES, TWENTY REGULARS
Work your way up the village: Amma Veedu, the Arts & Sports Club, the Chaaya Kada, Kandam and the Kallu Shaap. Every table has its own four regulars and its own music, and the higher you climb, the more carefully they count the cards.

HARDCORE AT THE KALLU SHAAP
At the last table nothing is enforced. Bluff about your suit, watch the others, and call a cheat when you catch one.

ALSO IN THE GAME
• Win coins and unlock new tables
• A daily coin gift, plus optional ads for extra coins
• An animated How to Play guide
• Pixel art, music and sound for every table
• Play as a guest, or sign in with Apple or Google to keep your progress on any phone

GO AD-FREE (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION)
The game is free, with an ad between games. Go ad-free removes those ads; watching an ad for extra coins stays optional. Plans: monthly or yearly, at the price shown in the app for your country.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings.

Coins are for play only and have no cash value.
