That Donkey sounds like Chase The Ace.
Is the aim of chase the ace to be left with the final ace or avoid it? (Guess it doesnât really matter).
To avoid it.

We have a set routine in our family that goes in this order:
Stop the bus: each player has three cards and the aim is to get to 31 with the same suit. You automatically win if you do, or you can âstop the busâ if you think youâve got the highest hand.
Rummy: each player has seven cards and the aim is to get a three and a four set eg all the 4s or 4,5,6,7 of one suit
Trumps: canât be bothered explaining this one
Switch: as above
The simple game of Snap.
Havenât played it for may be over 35 years but great memories and arguments with my sister whilst playing it. Fun childhood game.
Used to play bridge at school - thatâs good. Love crib, also like Hearts as long as it is on computer; canât be arsed with keeping track of all the intricacies when you play it in the real world
Ha ha!
We play a similar game called Racing Demons (also know as Nerts). You can play with as many people as you want, you just each need your own deck of cards (with a unique back)
Not played Crib for many years. My Granddad used to play it all the time and was a bit of a demon at it, knew all the weird sayings (âfifteen two, fifteen four, fifteen six and one for his nobâs sevenâ etc, ânobâ referred to a black Jack I seem to remember). Good game.
My elder sister used to beat me all the time at Spit. Iâd forgotten all about it until now!
Iâm a big fan of Chris Hoy getting involved in this thread:

Favourite for group: Trumps (10 rounds, select a trump suit in each round, guess the number of cards you will win in each round, score points in each round, winner is one with most points). The âgamblingâ aspect of this one makes it.
Favourite in a pair: Speed. This one, just very silly. How to Play the Card Game Speed (with Pictures) - wikiHow
In the game âshitheadâ when you get to the three face down cards towards the endâŚ
If you choose a face down card and you canât play it do you wait for the next go and try again? Or do you place another face down card in your hand??
