Description
Old Maid is a classic children's game that's easy to learn and plays quickly, with rounds lasting just 5 minutes. It's designed for 2 to 6 players, making it a great option for families or small groups of friends. The game is all about avoiding the "old maid" card, which is the only queen left in the deck after all the others have been removed. Players take turns drawing cards from each other, trying to make pairs and get rid of all their cards. The game is simple, but it's a lot of fun, especially when you see another player draw the old maid away from you. It's a great way to introduce kids to card games, and adults will enjoy it too. With no necessary in-game text, it's accessible to players of all languages. The game's designers, Jens Schumacher and Anja Wrede, have created a game that's perfect for kids and adults alike, with a unique blend of hand management, set collection, and bluffing mechanics.
