About Crazy Eights
Crazy Eights is the fast family card game that inspired many famous shedding games. The goal is simple: be the first to get rid of all your cards. On your turn, play a card that matches the suit or the rank of the top card on the pile. Eights are wild: play one at any time and choose the new suit to throw your rivals off.
No match? Draw from the deck until you find one. When a round ends, the winner scores the value of every card left in the other hands, and an unplayed eight costs fifty points. Duel one rival, play a full table of four, or try the action mode where a 2 makes the next player draw two, a Jack skips a turn and an Ace reverses the direction.
How to play
- Tap a card that matches the suit or the rank of the top card.
- An 8 can be played on anything: then choose the new suit.
- No match? Tap the deck to draw until you can play.
- Empty your hand to win the round. First to 100 points wins the match.
