Mao Card Game Rules

Mao Card Game Rules. To win a game of mao, a player must play their last card without breaking any rules and say mao, unless the last card is a jack, in which case they must say mao mao. All rules of mao start after the dealer says that last line.

After the card has been drawn the person may play any valid card. Playing with my group, almost always the first rule in is ghost/flash where you can play a card out if turn if it's the exact copy of the card that was just played (we play with 2.5 decks). If they fail to do this, or break any other rules during the play, they must draw one card, take back their winning card, and forfeit their turn.

If the player is unable to do so, they must draw one card and knock on the table.

One person is designated to start play. Mao’s rules vary between different groups. Mao is a recent addition to the group, which is especially popular in the usa.
