We must have spent days, all told, playing Mao in college. Many late nights in Durfee's, eating Chris' Flurries and shouting "penalty!" At some point, fortunately, my obsession with the game turned into an obsession with one of the regular players. But despite the game's place in our relationship, Debbie and I haven't played really since then. It's a game with a maddening learning curve, as you aren't allowed to know the rules, which moreover keep mutating. I am sorely tempted to edit this Wikipedia article to include a reference to the "ooh baby baby" rule. However for the sake of Wikimedia I shall refrain.

Wow, I only thought Radnor people knew this game, as if Mr. Dohner had made it up or something. Interesting stuff. I taught it to my friends in Germany, and we came up with CRAZY rules for it.
What's the name of that weird new card game where you draw your own cards as you go? Hmmmm. It looked fun, but in the same kind of "do you have 8 hours to kill?" kind of way.

The story has the vague tone of a letter to Penthouse. (Or so I'm guessing.)
