About the game

What you do in a play session

Go Nuts for Donuts is that quick game blending light strategy, bluffing, and a dash of controlled chaos — all wrapped in a delicious bakery theme. Each round, a number of donuts equal to players +1 is revealed, and everyone secretly picks which to claim using numbered cards. The catch? If two or more play the same number on the same donut, nobody gets it! Cue the fun: you’ll guess opponents’ moves, weigh risks for high-value donuts versus safe picks, and even use special cards to sabotage friends. Win by assembling the best donut combos by game end. With gorgeous (and mouthwatering) cards, simple rules, and 20-minute matches, it’s perfect for family game night or casual groups who love a side of betrayal. Fair warning: post-game donut cravings are guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

5 questions
Best player count?
4-6 players — more people = more chaos and bluffing!
Kid-friendly?
Yes! Simple rules and fun theme work great for ages 8+.
Language-dependent?
Yes, cards are English-only, but a translated cheat sheet works.
Is it too luck-based?
Some luck, but risk management matters. Hardcore strategists might find it light.
How’s it different from other set-collection games?
The 'if two pick it, nobody gets it' rule adds hilarious chaos missing in serious games of the genre.
