## Description
_Makao_ is an adaptation of the eponymous card game, a variant of “Mau Mau”.
In this four-player game (three players controlled by the computer), each
player starts with a hand of five cards. Each turn, a player can place a card
on the table, as long as it’s of the same suit or value as the card already on
the table (or if it is a joker); if the player has no eligible cards, they
instead have to draw a card from the drawing stack. Some cards have special
rules when placed. Placing an ace allows the player to change the color of the
card on the table. Placing a two, a three, or a king forces the next player to
draw two, three or five cards; placing a four forces the next player to skip a
turn. However, if the next player manages to place a card with the same value,
or a joker, the penalties are passed onto the player after him.
A deal ends when a player has gotten rid of all his cards or has more than 15
cards. All players are then given score, according to the hands of cards they
still have, and a new deal can begin. The game ends when one of the player has
at least 1000 points; the score is then tallied.
