All players are dealt an equal number of tiles. Leftover tiles are out of play. Each player starts with a pawn on Start. Each player, in turn, will draw a tile from the player on the right. If the tile is a number tile, then the drawing player advances that number of spaces on the gameboard. If that tile is an Old Maid tile then that player takes possession of the Old Maid marker. A player may get the Old Maid marker anyway if one lands on an Old Maid space on the gameboard. If a player who is supposed take possession of the Old Maid marker already has it then that player may give the marker away to another player. The first player to reach Finish without having possesssion of the Old Maid marker is the winner.
