Card Game – Crazy Eights

Crazy Eights

Crazy Eights is a shedding card game for 2 or more players. The first player to get rid of all their cards first is the winner. Gameplay is very similar to UNO. Deal 5 cards one at a time, face down. The balance of the pack is placed face down in the center of the table and forms the stockpile.  

The first player sets a card on the table. The next one can top it with a different card from the same suit, or a card with the same denomination but with a different suit. Ie. you can top a Jack of diamonds with any other card of diamonds or a Jack from a different suit. The players can draw a card from the pile whenever they want, even if they have a playable card in their hand.  The eights are the special cards of the game. You can play them on top of any card (regardless of their denomination and suit) and choose the suit the next player must play.
