--fantastisch--*Welcome to Go Nuts For Donuts!*
A tray of fresh donuts has just come from the bakery, and you want to eat as many as you can! Only problem is, so do your fellow donut lovers--but you don't want to share. [blue]Pick your donuts wisely[/blue] and [blue]grab as many points as you can[/blue] before the tray is empty!1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
--fantastisch--Your goal is to pick the right hand of donuts simultaneously with your opponents to score you points, [red]*without picking the same one as someone else.*[/red] Some cards just have points, while others come in sets, have special abilities, or are negative! At the end of the game, when there aren't enough cards to replenish the donut row, the person with the most points wins!2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
--fantastisch--First, let's go over the basic area of the game space.
This is the donut row, where the donut cards will go when drawn from the donut deck. Since this is a two-player game, there will be three cards. *The number of donut row cards and bid cards will be one more than the number of players.*3donut_box_wrap000
--fantastisch--The cards are made up of the name of the card, a picture of it, a circle (either black or red) indicating the point value, and a special ability or score set below it.4donut_box_3_item_29000
--fantastisch--The next unnamed area is the *bidding area.* This is where each players bid card will go.8donut_bids_wrap000
--fantastisch--And finally, this space here is *your hand*, where all your cards will go!10playertablecard_91227420000
--fantastisch--Let's take a look at the cards currently out on the donut row, shown here.
Looks like there's an éclair, donut holes, and a plain donut.11donut_box_wrap000
--fantastisch--The éclair has a special ability: you can take the top card from the discard pile.
Right now, there is *no discard pile*, so that probably wouldn't be too helpful.12donut_box_1_item_19000
--fantastisch--Then there's the donut holes, which are a *set card*. You can see on the card that you get a *certain amount of points per card*.13donut_box_2_item_4000
--fantastisch--[tip] [red] Special abilities are only activated when you get it from the donut row. If you receive it from the draw or discard piles or another player, the special ability is not activated.[/red]14archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
--fantastisch--And the plain donuts, which not only are worth 1 point, but an *additional three points* if you have the *most plain cards out of everyone*.15donut_box_3_item_29000
--fantastisch--Each round, the players will simultaneously and secretly pick a bid card with the number corresponding to the donut card below.16my_bid_cards000
--fantastisch--Let's go for the plain donut. [red]*Click on the plain donut card or number three bidding card to continue the tutorial.*[/red]1donut_box_3_item_29632a40916703a10donut_box_3_item_29 16 my_bid_cards_item_43 16
--fantastisch--Now, notice that you placed a bid on the third card, whereas your opponent placed a bid on the second card. In this case, you'll both get the cards you bid for!
(Note: cards from the donut row are removed in numerical order.)1donut_bids_wrap632a4091d557800
--fantastisch--Now that the first round is over, the donut row is replenished!2donut_box_wrap632a4091d896000
--fantastisch--There's two new cards: *glazed* and *chocolate frosted.*3donut_box_wrap632a4091d896000
--fantastisch--The glazed is straight-forward--you get two points.4donut_box_2_item_12632a4091d896000
--fantastisch--And the chocolate frosted is similar to the éclair, except you draw the top card from the *donut deck.*5donut_box_3_item_36632a4091d896000
--fantastisch--How about we bid for the glazed donut? *[red]Just click on the glazed donut card or the number two bidding card to continue the tutorial.*[/red]6donut_box_2_item_12632a4091d937c10donut_box_2_item_12 16 my_bid_cards_item_43 16
--fantastisch--The donut row has been replenished again, and two new donuts join the party: jelly-filled and powdered. I won't go over the cards out on the donut row anymore, but you can tell what they are on your own by now, I'm sure.
[tip] If you hover over the card, it will tell you information about it.1donut_box_wrap632a40b273e2700
--fantastisch--The powdered donut seems like a safe bet, especially since, if you scroll down to see your opponents cards, they have a set of jelly-filled donuts. It makes sense that they'd go for that one. *Let's bid for the powdered donut this time.*2donut_box_3_item_20632a40b273e2710donut_box_3_item_20 16
--fantastisch--I think you've got Go Nuts For Donuts down really well! It's pretty simple once you start, huh? But before you go and play your own games, let's go over one more scenario.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment632a40b3036da00
--fantastisch--Let's bid for the plain donut--you know the drill!2donut_box_3_item_24632a40b3036da10donut_box_3_item_24 16 my_bid_cards_item_43 16
--fantastisch--(Note: you can [red]remove your bid[/red] before the other players bid by clicking this button up here.)3remove_bid632a40b3036da00remove_bid 1 donut_box_3_item_24 16
--fantastisch--Uh-oh! See what happened here: you and at least one other person both bid for the plain donut!
In cases like these, the card bid on multiple times will be discarded, and those who bid on it get nothing for the round.
[tip] *Try to guess what your opponents will go for to avoid bidding for the same card as others.*1donut_bids_wrap632a40bfc114500
--fantastisch--And that's how you play Go Nuts for Donuts! I hope to play with you on a table one day!2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment632a40bfc1b8400
