The origins of the game known as "pin the tail on the donkey" are unknown. It was probably a home made game at first; then game manufacturers printed paper versions. This board game is loosly based on the party game. Players spin a spinner and place their marker on numbered spaces. The player spinning the number closest to the donkey's tail wins the game.
