Game Rules

You can find the rules of the game at https://bananario.de/onlinegames/maumau/maumau.php

Please adhere to the following rules:

Cards can only be placed on cards of the same color or value. For example, if a Heart8 is played, another Heart or any other 8 can be played on top of it. If you can't play a card, click on the draw pile to get another card in hand.

Special Cards:

• Ace: If an Ace is played, the opponent must skip their turn.
• 7: After this card is played, the opponent must draw 2 cards, unless they also play a 7. With each additional 7, the number of penalty cards increases by 2.
• Jack: This card can always be played, regardless of the color in play. However, a Jack can't be played on top of another Jack. Once a Jack is played, the color to be played next can be chosen.

Ending the Game

The game ends when a player lays down all their cards and declares 'mau mau'. If the game is ended with a 7, all penalty cards must be drawn before counting. It can happen that you play a 7 as your last card, but haven't won yet because the opponent also plays a 7. The penalty cards must be drawn and the game continues. Important: Don't forget to press the Mau button at the bottom left before playing your penultimate card, otherwise you must draw 2 penalty cards. If a game is ended with a Jack, the points are counted double."
