How It Works
Players take their position at the lanes and begin rolling balls up the track, aiming to land them into coloured scoring holes.
Each hole advances the player’s donkey along the racecourse, with different colours offering different progress levels. The goal is simple.
Be the first to cross the finish line.
While the concept sounds easy, the challenge lies in timing, precision, and control. Under pressure, even the most confident players quickly discover how addictive and competitive the game becomes.
The faster you roll, the harder it becomes to score accurately, creating an exciting balance of skill and chaos.
