How Old maid is played here

The rules this table deals by. Everybody at the table sees the same lines before the first hand.

  • Fifty-one cards: a full pack with one queen taken out, so one card has no partner.
  • Every pair in your hand goes face up. Three of a kind is one pair with a card left over.
  • Offer your hand face down to the player on your left, who takes one card out of it without seeing it.
  • An empty hand is out and safe. Whoever is left holding the odd queen is the old maid.

How it works

  1. Open a table. It gets a short code of its own.
  2. Read the code out, or send the link. Anyone you send it to sits down as a guest, without an account.
  3. Deal once everyone is seated — or give each empty chair a bot and start now.
