1.You split the entire deck as many ways as you want (amount of people)(usually 2 people)

2. Check for any matches, if any, lay them down together in front of you.

3. Choose a person to start.

4. That person you chose will take a random card out of the person to their left's deck.

5. If it is a match they would lay it down.

6. Keep going around the circle.

7. Try not to get caught with the old maid(only card with no match)!

If there are more that 2 people playing, you could drag out your game longer to keep seeing who will lose, as a matter of rounds of elimination.

How old is the card game Old Maid?

The game known today as "Old Maid" has a history probably almost as ancient as that of playing-cards themselves, and went under various names, such as "Black Peter" and "Jackass". Generally it was played with a standard deck from which one card had been removed. However, it was in Victorian times -- probably because the original version was a drinking-game, and standard playing-cards themselves were often looked upon as morally dubious -- that special decks began to be produced which even children in "respectable" families could use. These had cards depicting caricatures of various people in sets of four, plus a single caricature of an old woman, the old maid (meaning an elderly, i.e. "unmatchable", spinster). The player holding this Old Maid card at the end of the game had, of course, lost. The name has stuck, even when the game is played, as originally, with a standard deck.
