RULES:
The object of the game is to not be the player at the end of the game holding the joker. Setup: Shuffle a standard deck of playing cards with 1 joker and deal all the cards evenly to each player. Players look at their own cards but keep them hidden from others. Players sort through their cards, making as many pairs as possible, and placing these pairs face-up on the table in front of them.
The dealer goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn, fan out your cards, making sure no one else can see them. The player to your left pick one of your cards. As players make pairs in their hand, they discard them faceup to the table immediately.
Once it is impossible to make more pairs, the game ends and the player with the joker, the old maid, loses.

Awesome explanation. Short and simple 😊
Played this at christmas, unfortunately we had to play old bachelor as there are no old maids in our family. Any ideas where I could get an old bachelor card ?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I get it
We call it Gulam Chor. Just instead of Joker its Jack.
Thanks Broskiw
She's playing. You're playing. That's what she wants, a player.
In the philippines it is called "ungoy ungoyan" wich means monkey monkey the last player who makes the last pair is the monkey.

Thanks for keeping it short and sweet!
In the Philippines (idk if this was with my family or with the whole country) we have this game called “unggoy-unggoy” where we shuffle a 52-card deck and remove one card and with the same rules as old maid and whoever has the last card loses
What if no one has a joker at the end of the game?
Tbh when I saw the time span on this video, I thought the game was like 52 card pickup where it wasn't an actual game
A way to play this is to remove the top card on a shuffled deck so that the card without a pair is random.
I lose so often this ain’t fun anymore
Very easy to learn. Thank you.
Can you please make a bridge video? I bought a book full of illustration, and understood nothing out of it.
We have also played this. But we don't play with Joker. Instead, we discard ONE card from the entire deck, and that card is not used for the rest of the game.The player who finishes his cards first wins, and the player who has a card left loses. And the face value of card turns out to be the same as face value of the discarded card.
New rule idea: Double Maid! Use 2 jokers instead of 1. Same rules as Normal, except once you made all the pairs you can, trade your pairs with your opponents. If you have the most pairs you win, but if you have the pair of jokers in first place you instantly lose and the second place player wins. Simple, but there’s a catch, if the person with the least pairs has the pair of jokers, they win no matter how many pairs the leading player(s) have.
I like making it unknown what the old maid card is by discarding a random non-joker card no one sees
If there are 53 cards how will we distribute it evenly

I always hated playing old maid cause no matter how many times I play it I always lose, whether its at the beginning of the game close to the end of the game
If you watched the show/movie joker game 1 you know this
Do you know that game with 1 detective 1killer 2 or more common people where killer kills common people and detective has to catch him?
I played this before- but when we play, we just remove one card from the deck
Awesome. Well explain. Thanks.
Thank you! This was super helpful. I can't wait to play it with my friends!
This is what I want to learn right now!
I’m more familiar with the version with a queen being the old maid card
thanks, very informative
I played the game with a twist.
The twist is playing the game with 3 queens with 2 queens being able to be paired.
Another ending: if you have the last pair, you lose.
Here in Philippines its called unggoy ungguyan english: monkey monkey here we hide one card through the deck and pair the cards then the player with the least card in their hand goes first then go to the left then the player with the same number or the j q k is the monkey example the hidden card is jack all of the players dont know what the monkey card is then player 3 is the one who have the jack and no more cards to pick then player 3 is monkey
There's a game here in Philippines called "unguy unguyan" (play like a monkey) where you randomly pick from the deck a card to hide. Its more fun because you'll never know what card is the curse until you left alone with it

I'm not sure but isn't this like gofish
Came after reading second chapter of Kaguya sama xD
Actually wouldn't the one with the Old Maid just be ONE of the losers? I mean to WIN you have to be the first to get rid of all your cards right?
Oh, Bulgaria actually has a game like that! The only difference is that we call it "черен Петър" or "black Peter"!
There is a very similar game in Germany called "Schwarzer Peter" (lit. Black Peter, which might have some slightly racist undertones tbh).
The difference is that you don't use a joker, but instead remove the jack of spades from the deck. Also, you can only form pairs with cards that have a matching colour (e.g. queen of hearts and queen of diamonds). The one who has the jack of clubs in the end loses.
Here's a gameplay twist for you to try. Take both jokers out of the deck. Shuffle the deck thoroughly. While the deck is face down, discard a card from the deck. It will remain face down and out of the game. Deal the cards, and play as normal.
Hello fellow Filipino people, kinda similar with "unggoyan" right?
Note: unggoy means "monkey" and you will just be called a "monkey" if everyone has already put down pair/s aside from you whose remaining card is same with the "missing" card.
Here in the Netherlands, we have a similar game called ‘zwartepieten’. It’s with all the cards with value 7 or higher, except for the jack of clubs. The player who has the jack of spades at the end loses
I play this game with my friends but its a bit different. The only difference is there is no joker, and the king is the old maid card. We take 3 kings from the deck and play with 1 king whoever has the king in his hand at the end loses
Thank you. This is one of the few carfax games I've never played and never knew anyone who played to teach me
Thank you for your excellent instructions. 🙂 (Chase)
clothes dressing up not to be half dressed when they laugh at ya.
But how do you determine who wins then?
How do you deal them evenly if you add the joker? Wouldn’t you have to remove a card?
Old maid deck is different from standard 52 card deck
can it be played with only 2 players? and odd number of players? like 3 or 5
