If he taught you how to play Mao...
...you were not playing Mao. First rule of Mao is there is no explaining or asking about the rules. New players are expected to join a game and deduce the rules of play by observation, trial and error.

Yeah he didn't teach me per se
I observed him but can't remember any of the rules -takes card- other than That's The Badger and certain cards mean you have to speak in Latin or switch directions.

Take a card for mentioning the rules.

Dammit!
Best thing is you can always pretend to know the rules and bullshit others.

POINT OF ORDER
and of course there's point of order where you can ask vague questions or say things that are punishable by penalty (like swearing) without penalties
END POINT OF ORDER

I really fucking loved that game. And Greek Camp (why else do you think we did it in Latin?)

Greek Camp?
Other than a potential title for gay pr0n - what is it?

Exacly - but only if playing by the Charterhouse Rules during Lent.
