You can play Old Maid with children who are learning a card game for the first time, or with adult game enthusiasts looking for a quick, lighthearted diversion. Old Maid is perfect for its low cost, simple instructions, and speed of play while requiring little to no preparation. Because of this, Old Maid is played in homes, classrooms, parties, and casual game nights. Importantly, Old Maid contains more than just elements of luck; it contains an amount of luck, memory, and a bit of strategy as elements of fun for everyone from six to sixty! What is Old Maid. Old Maid is a matching card game usually played with 2 to 6 players with a regular deck of 52 cards (or Old Maid decks). One card, usually a queen, is removed from the deck making the even number of cards left to an odd number of cards leaving 1 unmatched card, that is "Old Maid" a card that does not have a match. The object of the game is to make matched card pairs and get rid of all of your cards first without being the last person to hold the Old Maid. How to Prepare the Game Preparing for Old Maid is very simple and can be completed promptly! Grab a typical deck and take out a queen (or use a deck geared toward Old Maid). Shuffle the deck and give all of the cards out evenly to each player. Each player checks their hands for pairs (two cards of like number, for example, two 5's or two Kings) and puts them face up on the table. Now you are ready to start! How to Play: The game starts with the dealer. On each player's turn, they will pull one card (at random) from the player on their left. If the card you pull from your neighbor provides you with a pair, you will place them down together. If not, hold on to the card and play proceeds clockwise. When all cards have been paired up, and one player is stuck with the un-pairable card, that player is the "Old Maid" and has lost the game! All of the rest of the players have won by being able to put down their matched cards. Why this game is great for all ages: Old Maid is a very versatile and accessible game for players of all ages, from ages 4 - 104! For younger players, the game sets up important skills as: Matching and non-matching (pattern recognition) Taking turns and following simple rules Basic memory and observation For older players, there are more opportunities to bluff! For adults, everyone can bluff, read the opponent, and, limit competition since no reading or strategies are involved, the game engages younger children with minimal assistance. Fun Tips Add ‘spice’ to the game using themed decks-many decks include colorful characters or animals. When playing, keep in mind that the game is for fun, and not serious competition. Be sure to play several rounds changing out the person shuffling/dealing from round to round. Conclusion Old Maid is a classic card game that is fun for the family. You are guaranteed laughter, suspense, and playfully simple fun with each hand! The rules of play are simple enough to be inclusive to a range of ages, thus bringing families and generations together!
