🗣️ 🃏 A quick review on one of our newest games from our Piatnik partnership: Jinks!

"Jinks is surprisingly fun! Sometimes you have to make a tactical choice when it comes to taking cards. A higher card is not always attractive. A quick game that you can easily play anywhere." -Board Game Geek User

AMIGO Games @amigogames.bsky.social · 29d

Jinx plays out in 3 rounds:

🎲 Roll the die (maybe twice) & grab matching cards from 8 colors (1–6).
🚫 No match? The round ends—and you might lose cards already scored.
💥 Get too jinxed & lose it all!

Perfect for 2-4 players, ages 6 and up!

Special cards like Double Donkeys and Angry Donkeys add twists, surprises, and hilarious moments to every round of this fast-paced family card game! You will want to add this one to your shelf! 🃏 🫏

AMIGO Games @amigogames.bsky.social · Sep 12

Who is the biggest donkey? 😆 🃏 🫏

With quick 20-minute rounds, Double Donkey is an ideal choice for families, friends, and party gatherings. It can also be a great travel game for kids and families.

AMIGO Games @amigogames.bsky.social · Sep 11

🫏🃏 Double Donkey is a card shedding game! The player with the highest card-value is the "biggest donkey" in each round and cannot discard their cards.

You can find this hilarious game on Amazon!

AMIGO Games @amigogames.bsky.social · Sep 10

You are all donkeys 🫏 🫏 🫏

...Sorry, that's just how it is in this game! But being a donkey is not bad, there are plenty of others. But still, nobody wants to be the biggest donkey. So you better choose the right dice, risk a bit and quickly get rid of your donkey cards!
