The classic party game of "pin the tail on the donkey." The game included several tails a picture of a "tailless" donkey marked with scoring numbers across its entire body.
Players are blindfolded several feet away from the donkey and turned a few times before being faced in the general direction of the donkey. They then try to place the tail as close as possible to the correct spot to score the most points. There is a circular hole in the top end of the tail. The scoring area that is touched by the circle determines the number of points scored by the player.
There are released newer versions of this game all over the world, even electronical versions.
