Abstract
The invention is a combined card, dice, and peg board game which 3 to 6 players can play. It consists of one peg board with two start/finish lines, two separate start/finish areas, and four pegging tracks within the outline of the game's name. On each pegging track are a plurality of “donut!” circles separated from each other by the same number of peg holes. Equipment for the game includes a deck of 52 cards of 4 aces through 4 duces, one pair of dice, six pairs of different colored pegs, one rule booklet, and a pad of game tracking sheets. As players accumulate tricks, make their bid, and land on “donut!” circles, they peg points towards the finish. The first player to cross the designated finish line wins the game. The invention is a fun game of bidding strategy and surprise.
