How to play

  1. One queen is taken out of the deck, then all the cards are dealt. Everyone puts down their pairs.
  2. On your turn draw one card, unseen, from the player on your left; put down any new pair.
  3. Players with no cards left are safe. Whoever is left holding the lone queen at the end is the Old Maid.

What the app does for you

No cards needed: the app shuffles a real 52-card deck and deals it. In phone games each hand is shown only on its own phone, the shared pile or caller is on the TV, and the app checks every move against the rules, so nobody can play a card that does not fit.

Played with everyone's phone: the host screen shows a QR code and a 4-letter code, and phones join in the browser. No app or account.
