What is "Old Maid"?

Old Maid is a card game that has been played for centuries, and its origins are believed to date back to the 19th century in the United Kingdom. It is usually played by two or more players using a standard deck of cards, with one card removed, often a Queen, to make an unmatchable card, known as the "Old Maid." The goal is to form pairs of cards with the same rank, which are then discarded. Players take turns offering their hand to the next player, who must pick a card and attempt to form a pair. The game continues until all pairs are formed, and the player left with the "Old Maid" card loses the game. Old Maid is a fun and easy game, often enjoyed by children.
