Old Maid
Pair off your cards and don’t get stuck with the Old Maid. 2–8 players.
How to play Old Maid
- 1One queen is taken out of the deck, so one queen can never be paired: that’s the Old Maid. All the other cards are dealt out.
- 2Pairs of the same rank are put down for you automatically, at the start and whenever you make one.
- 3On your turn, take one face-down card from the hand of the next player on your left who still has cards. Pair it if you can; then it’s their turn to take from their left.
- 4Run out of cards and you’re safe. Whoever is left holding the last queen loses.
