Here is the card back and two of the twenty unique donut cards in Go Nuts for Donuts

Glazed give a good 2 points. A single Jelly Filler is nothing, but a pair is very tasty! Milk makes even bad donuts taste good.

Raspberry Glazed might be the sweetest donut on the rack with a big score and the power to discard a domnut that might be hurting you. Powdered rewards you if you specialize, while Sprinkled rewards a "eat anything" strategy.

Double Chocolate is straight-up nice points while Eclair is a little risky since what's on the discard pile now might not be there when this donut resolves. Mucho Matcha is here to put the hurt on an opponent.

Old Fashioned is your Granny telling you not to eat too much. Maple Bar and Maple Glazed let you test your luck to see if you can draw a good card.

Donut Holes and Boston Creams both score depending on how many you collect, but each scoring method is very different. Cinnamon Twist lives up to it's name.

Red Velvet hurts a little, but lets you scour the discards for something really sweet! Strawberry Glazed is gonna hurt someone when you discard one of their donuts. Plain is small points, but get the most of them and you're gonna score a nice bonus.

Overview

Go Nuts for Donuts is a fast-paced card game for the whole family with just a sprinkle of strategy. Outsmart your opponents and collect donuts hot out of the oven for points. But beware, if two players go after the same donut, then no one gets it!

In Go Nuts for Donuts, players lay out donuts from the deck equal to the amount of players plus one. Each player has a number card for each donut that is out. Players all pick a donut they want by placing one of their number cards face down on the table. Players simultaneously reveal their number. If two or more players have matching numbers, that donut is discarded and no one gets it. If you're the only player that bid for the donut, than you take it and place it face up in front of you. Collect sets, unique and powerful donuts, and pairs of donuts to maximize points.
