INTRODUCTION TO OLD MAID

Old Maid is a children’s card game popular in the United States. In France, the game is called Vieux Garçon (Old Boy) and Le Pouilleux (Lousy).

GAMEPLAY

The Deal

A player shuffles the cards and deals them, one at a time, to each player. Cards are dealt evenly between players until they are all used. It is not necessary for players to have exactly even hands. 크레이지슬롯

The Play

Players remove all their pairs from their hand and place them face-down on the table in front of them. In the event you have a three of a kind, you may only set down two of those cards. After each player has finished this, the dealer begins the next phase of play by allowing the player to their left to choose a card from their deck. This is done by spreading out the card, face-down, in hand so that the other player can choose any single card from the dealer’s hand. After, the player who picked a card must remove any new pairs from their hand. They then offer their hand to the player to their left. This continues around the table until all but one card is paired- the single Queen. The player left with the last Queen is the Old Maid! 

VARIATIONS

In France (and other countries), where the name of the game is male, a Jack is removed from the deck as opposed to a Queen. The loser of the game holds the last Jack after all pairs have been accounted for.

Old Maid, and similar games, can be played in reverse. As opposed to the holder of the Old Maid being the loser, they are actually declared the winner of the game.

  TAROT CARD GAMES WHAT ARE TAROT CARD GAMES? Tarot Card Games  are a family of  Trick-taking Card Games  which utilize a tarot deck. These games were conceived at the start of the 15th century in Italy, making them some of the oldest card games still played. While mostly extinct, they are still played in European countries such as Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, and other small East European countries. These games may also be identified by the name  tarock  (France) or  tarocco  (Italy), depending on the region the game originated from.  온카지노 TAROT’S INNOVATIONS Tarot games were some of the first to introduce the concept of trumps or trump suits to trick-taking. It is believed  Karnöffel  games may have incorporated them earlier into play, or that they were conceived of independently. Either way, this tradition has leaked over into modern trick-taking games. Another defining characteristic of Tarot games is that they are  point-trick games.
