Toss your pairs, draw from your neighbor, and whoever is left holding the odd King loses.
Play Old Maid nowHow to play
Get rid of your cards early, and don't get stuck with the King
- The deck has only one King, and all the cards are dealt out
- Initial pairs are discarded automatically. After drawing, select the highlighted cards and discard the pair
- On your turn, draw a face-down card from the player next to you
- If it matches one of yours, the pair is tossed. Then it's the turn of the player you drew from
- Run out of cards and you're out safe. The last one holding the King loses
- The sooner you finish, the more points you get; the King holder gets 0
- Hands are reshuffled after every draw, so nobody can track the King
- If your turn timer runs out, the game plays for you, and your next turns get shorter until you're back
