How to play Mau Mau

Goal To get rid of all the cards in your hand first. Mau Mau or in Dutch called Pesten,  is similar to Uno but played with a regular deck of 54 cards.

Set up

• The dealer passes out 7 cards to each player.
• The dealer places the remaining cards in a stack. This becomes the draw pile.
• The dealer turns over the top card from the draw pile and places it beside the draw pile. This becomes the play pile.

Turns

• Players take turns in a clockwise order.
• Each turn a player matches the card in the center with a card from their hand. This must match on either the same suit or the same value.
• If a player can't match any card they must take a card from the draw pile, add it to their hand and end their turn.

Specific card rules Some cards have special rules that apply when placing certain card on the play pile. 

• 2 = forces the next player to draw two cards.
• Joker = may be played on any other card and forces the next player to draw 5 cards.
• 7, King = allows the player to play another fitting card if able; if this is another 7, the player goes again.
• 8 = forces the next player to skip their turn.
• Ace = reverses the order of play.
• Jack = changes suit.
