How Mau-mau is played here
The rules this table deals by. Everybody at the table sees the same lines before the first hand.
- Play a card matching the top of the pile by suit or by rank. If you cannot, take one card and your turn is over.
- A seven makes the next player take two and they stack; an eight misses somebody out; a nine turns the table round.
- A jack is wild and names the suit to follow — but a jack may not be played on a jack.
- Say mau on your second-to-last card and mau-mau on your last, or draw a card for forgetting. It is enforced on the player who has clearly won, which is the joke.
How it works
- Open a table. It gets a short code of its own.
- Read the code out, or send the link. Anyone you send it to sits down as a guest, without an account.
- Deal once everyone is seated — or give each empty chair a bot and start now.
