Mao

Mao is a card game often played by CTYers. The first rule of Mao is, "You may not discuss the rules of Mao." It is up to players to figure them out.

Some people consider it proper to tell new players that the object of the game is to get rid of all cards; others feel it is okay to tell them the general method of playing cards. Regardless, the best way to learn how to play Mao is to watch other people playing it.

There are some sites (search for it on a search engine) that describe a fictional game of Mao to learn how to play. This, for instance, is certainly not real.
