About Mau-Mau
Play the Mau Mau card game online free in your browser, no download and no sign-up needed. This is PixelDen's take on the classic shedding game, played against a saloon-sharp AI on the 32-card German deck (seven through ace). The goal is simple: be the first to empty your hand by dumping a card that matches either the visible top rank or the active suit.
It's the Mau Mau everyone knows worldwide, with the Czech cousin Prší built on the very same mariás-style deck. The fun is in the special cards. Sevens are punishment: each one adds +2 to your opponent's pending draw, and contested sevens stack in +2 steps capped at +8. Aces force the next player to skip unless they fire back with an ace of their own. The Ober acts as the colour-changing wildcard, popping a modal so you reset the active suit to whatever suits your hand.
Controls stay quick: click a card or use 1-8 hotkeys, press D to draw, and a second tap on the stock ends your turn after a voluntary draw. When the stock runs dry, the discard buries and reshuffles under the face-up card automatically. Plays on desktop and mobile, free forever, with rules you can learn in one round.

What's the difference between Mau Mau and Prsi?
