FLoppy Dog Ears on your own ears

Floppy Ears Mau Mau, played with cards in the shape of Floppy Dogs Ears. 36 Floppy Ears come in four colors - red, green, blue and yellow - and each of the seven cards in a color features a different symbol - paw, heart, clover leaf, flower, ball, bone or star; eight Ear cards are joker cards for any of the colors and without a symbol.

The Ear cards are shuffled face-down and each player is dealt five Ear cards, which he takes up in hand; the rest is face-down draw pile. Each player then selects two Ear cards from his hand and puts them over his Ears, memorizing color and symbol of each Ear card on their ears.

The top Ear card from the draw pile is turned up. Then, in turn, you discard one of your Ear cards that corresponds to the color or the symbol of the previous card on the stack; an ear from one of your ears always takes precedence for discarding; your fellow players will control you and announce a mistake with Stop Ear!  If you made a mistake or have no suitable Ear card in hand or on your ears, you draw an ear. An ear discarded from an ear is replaced with one from the stack. IF you discard a joker Ear, you announce a color for the next Ear card. The last but one and the last ear must be announced with Woof and Woof Woof, respectively. If you forget that, you draw a card and put it on your ear. If you are first to discard the second ear from your ears and call Woof Woof, you win.

Simple and cute fun! The rules of Mau Mau are known, you only need to explain the rules with player ears; the Ear cards are easy to handle and the symbols clearly recognizable for the controlling players.
