In Uno you win when all your cards are gone; if you're still holding all your cards you lose. In Old Maid, you lose if you've discarded all your cards except the Old Maid (we had the deck in the center picture). You could say Trump still holds the Old Maid card, which is himself.

We started right off with draw poker. Pennies as chips.

Last card he'll see is the "Go to Hell. Go Directly to Hell" card from his final Monopoly game.
