Rules
1
Everyone gets seven cards. On your turn, play a card that matches the top card by colour or by value, or play a Wild. 30 seconds per turn.
2
No card that fits? Draw one. If it fits, you may play it straight away; otherwise your turn ends.
3
Skip: the next player misses a turn. Reverse: play changes direction (with two players it works like a Skip). +2 and Wild +4: the next player draws two or four cards and misses a turn. With a Wild you pick the colour.
4
Playing down to your last card? Say Mau! as you play it. If you forget, anyone can catch you until the next card is played or drawn, and you draw two.
5
The first player with an empty hand wins and scores the cards the others still hold: number cards their value, Skip, Reverse and +2 are worth 20 each, Wild cards 50.
2-4 players · turn-based · 108 cards · optional stacking: answer a +2 or a Wild +4 with another one. Full rules & play in your browser
