For example, if you’re playing with 4 players, you can pull out the 4 Aces, 4 Jacks, 4 Queens, and 4 Kings to use during the game.

Since the goal of the game is to eventually have a 4-of-a-kind in your hand, if you already have 2 or 3 cards with the same value, hold onto them.

Try to pick up and pass cards as fast as you can so you can be the first person to have 4 cards of the same value.

Don’t say anything out loud when you touch your nose—it’s okay to be sneaky!

Look up from your hand of cards every few seconds to check what the other players are doing. Someone might be sneaky when they touch their nose so the other players don’t notice.

It can be really funny to make the player who lost the round oink like a pig when they realize they’re the last person to touch their nose.

The player to the right of the dealer just sets the cards they don’t want into a discard pile. If the dealer manages to run out of cards in the Stockpile, then they take cards from the discard pile.

Try to be sneaky when you’re taking a spoon so everyone doesn’t rush to grab a spoon at the same time.

If you want an even longer game, spell out the word “DONKEY” before eliminating a player.
