Damn, I completely forgot about Mao. You just unlocked a vague memory from 15 years ago. I remember being incredibly frustrated while learning this, followed by the hilarity of introducing more players to the game.

I tried it with a group years ago and we played extensively for half a year but eventually had to split off. At max i get 3 people together who know it and most plain don't like it... But good memories indeed, i still think about new rules sometimes.

I played it at a summer camp in middle or high school. We had ~25 playing one game at one point
