Mau-Mau is the German and Hungarian cousin of Crazy Eights: be the first to get rid of all your cards. Play a card of the same suit or rank, sevens make the next player draw two (and stack), eights skip a turn, jacks change the suit. Switch to the Hungarian Makaó rules – aces skip, queens wish a suit, jacks wish a rank – with one tap.
The rules in brief
No tricks: play a card of the same suit or rank on the pile
Seven: draw two, eight (or ace): skip, jack (or queen): wish a suit
