The Rules of Mau

Mau is to Crazy-eights what a hurricane is to fog.

Spoiler Notice
The original (?) version of Mau includes the rule ``you can't discuss the (other) rules'' -- you must infer them by playing with a group where at least one or two others already know the game. In those circles, this page is certainly blasphemous. If you like this ideal, don't look at the rules. Perhaps fortunately, the rule-secret variant and the one described here (sometimes called "Bartog") seem to share only a couple of exact rules, and an attitude. (At least, i've only managed to deduce (induce?) a few of the secret-variant rules.)
