When I was little I loved playing Old Maid with friends and family. old Maid and Go Fish were my games. So I was happy to find an old Maid game for free on the app store.This interesting bit about this version of old maid is that you apparently get to play it with cartoon maids. You have 3 maids who play this game with you. You are their employer and either you pay them to entertain you with card games or they have a lot of free time they like to spend with you. Either way, they are happy to be here, playing cards (Who wouldn't rather play cards than sweep and dust?).
You can position the 3 maids around the table however you prefer. Each maid has her own personality and things she says while playing the game (Depending on whether she is doing well or not).In the settings (Which can be accessed mid game for convenience) you can turn the background music on and off. You can also increase or decrease the speed at which the game is played. This tends to come in handy when you get tied of reading their responses and just want their moves to hurry along so you can draw your card.
For those whom have never played Old maid the card game, here is the basic goal of the game. Everyone has a hand full of cards (All cards are dealt). When you have a match (two aces, two 5s, etc) you remove them from your hand. the first person to have all cards removed from their hand wins. The person left holding the sole joker card (Which has no match, so can never be removed) loses, and is the 'old maid'. You draw cards from the hand of the player to your right, gradually moving clockwise around the table. You don't know what they have, they don't know what you have. But you hope to get a match, and hope to not draw the Joker card from their hand.
Once your game is finished and the "old maid" has been determine, you can play again or return to the main screen.In the full version of this game you get additional maids to play with. You can also get gallery images of said maids. These are won via the card game. it gives more incentive to continue to play. The free game doesn't appear to give any real incentive. But it's still fun.
I think this is a nice app. it's a fun and colourful way to play a classic card game. Though there aren't a lot of bells and whistles, it's still decent quality for the price (which is free). If you wish to purchase the paid version, it's fairly reasonably priced at 1.99 USD. I would try to free/lite version first. Just to make sure you like it enough before choosing to purchase the full version.Do you have what it takes to make "old maids" out of these girls? Or are you going to be the one left holding the Joker?
