phil1882 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Mao starts off much like uno: I'll take two decks of 52 standard playing cards, shuffle them, and deal seven out to each player. the goal is to get rid of all your cards. one card starts out face up, and each turn, a player places a card such that either the suit or value match. if its your turn and you cannot play, you get 2 cards, and your turn is skipped. here's the catch however, all players have a secret rule. if you fail to meet a player's secret rule, I'll penalize you by adding a card to your hand, and tell you who's rule you violated. multiple rule violations means multiple cards. some example secret rules you can create: Jacks reverse order of who goes next. kings allow play of any card, spades can only be played on hearts or spades; etc. note that there is no talking about the rules! if you are unsure of who goes next, you have to just gamble and see. (if it's your turn and you haven't posted in more than 14 days, I'll penalize you a card and go to the next player.) I'll be the moderator, making sure all rules are enforced. note that I'll post your current hand in spoilers; please everyone only look at your own hands! moderator: phil1882 sign ups: player 1: player 2: player 3: player 4: player 5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framm 18 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Cut the 14 day deadline down and I would be willing to give it a try. That just seems like a long time to wait and will kill the game if someone does go inactive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auramyna Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Why not keep the hands in a PM convo rather than use spoilers? The temptation could be too much for people. Not saying people can't be trusted but if I saw a sign saying DON'T LOOK IN HERE! I would be almost compelled to look. Human nature. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil1882 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 well pm boxes can get quite full quite quickly, I'd like to not unnecessarily fill them. also knowing another players hand isn't a big advantage. alright framm, lets make it 7 days.

phil1882 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 okay guys, got everyone's rule. I've dubbed flamebird's rule the most restrictive. you guys are gonna have a tough time following it. :-). also i should note that if you play illegally, you also get your card back. if you need at any point to know your current hand you can defiantly ask that in pm. Starting card: J D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil1882 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 after thinking about it I've decided to add an additional rule. you can pass your turn if you have no legal play, without penalty..note if you try to pass with a legal play. you get the same penalty as if you can't play. (goes to next player and you get 2 cards.) if all 5 players pass consecutively, everyone will be given 1 card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil1882 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 if its your turn and you don't post within 7 days, you get 2 cards and your turn is skipped. if it happens twice in a row, i guess your eliminated form the game.
