   The third game is "Donkey", everyone gets four cards each, someone passes a card to the next, if it does not suit him he passes it on, and the game goes on like that until someone has four queens or four of any sort, then he leave them down eacy on the table, the last one down is D and so on until they come to Donkey.
   The next game is "Old Maid", there is some card put out of the deck, that is the Old Maid, all the cards are matched, and at the end someone has the comrade of the card put out of the deck, and that person is the Old Maid.
