App Description

Mau Mau is a popular card game. Rules. ♣ The players are dealt each a hand of 5-7 cards. The rest are placed face down as drawing stack. At the beginning of the game the topmost card is revealed, then the players each get a turn to play cards. ♣ One can play a card if it corresponds to the suit or value of the open card. E.g. on a 10 of spades, only other spades can be played or other 10s. If a player is not able to, he draws one card from the stack. If he can play this card, he may do so, otherwise he keeps the drawn card and passes his turn. If the drawing stack is empty, the playing stack (except for the topmost card) is shuffled and turned over to serve as new drawing stack. ♣ Whoever gets rid of his cards first, wins the game. SPECIAL CARD VALUES: Some cards are special, because they affect the game directly: ♣ If a 7 is played, the next player must draw two cards and skips his turn. ♣ If a 8 is played, the next player skips his turn. ♣ An Ase is used to let the player take another turn. ♣ A Jack can be played regardless of the suit or value of the topmost card on the playing deck. Subsequently the player who calls it out first can decide freely the suit that has to be played next. ♣ A 9 change game direction. Have fun!
