About Donkey

Donkey is a four-player shedding and trick-taking game played with a standard 52-card deck against three AI opponents.

Setup and first lead
  • All 52 cards are dealt, giving each player 13 cards.
  • The player holding the Ace of Spades starts by leading that card.
  • Aces rank highest, followed by King, Queen, Jack, 10 down to 2.
Following suit
  • Every player must follow the suit led when possible.
  • If everyone follows suit, the highest card of that suit wins and those cards leave the game.
  • The trick winner leads next.
Picking up cards

If you cannot follow the lead suit, you must pick up every card currently on the table. The player with the highest card in the lead suit then leads the next trick.

Winning and controls
  • Get rid of all your cards to become safe.
  • The final player still holding cards loses and is declared the Donkey.
  • Tap a card to select it, then tap Play. Use Pick Up when you cannot follow suit.
