Crazy Eights
About Crazy Eights
Crazy Eights is a classic card game for four players where the goal is to be the first to play away all your cards. You take turns matching the card on the discard pile by rank or suit, and use eights as wild cards to change the suit at any point during play.
How to play Crazy Eights
Each player starts with a hand of cards from the deck. On your turn, play a card that matches the rank or suit of the top card on the discard pile. If you can't play a valid card, you draw from the deck until you can. Eights can be played anytime and let you choose the suit that continues play. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins the round.
Tips for playing Crazy Eights
- Hold onto your eights until you need to escape a suit you have few cards left in.
- Watch what suits and ranks other players discard to guess what they might be holding.
- If you have several cards of the same suit, try to play them early to avoid getting stuck drawing later.
