Crazy Eights

Give our version of Crazy Eights a try and enjoy hours free of entertainment.

Eight cards are dealt to each player. Players discard by matching rank or suit with the top card of the discard pile, starting with the player left of the dealer. If a player is unable to match the rank or suit of the top card of the discard pile and does not have an eight, he draws one card from the stockpile. If he has a card he can play it otherwise the turn passes to the next player. If still doesn't have a card, he passes a turn to a next player. When a player plays an eight, he or she must declare the suit that the next player is to play.

As an example: Once the six of clubs is played the next player can:

- play any of the other sixes

- play any of the clubs

- play any eight (must declare the suit)

- draw from the stockpile

Scoring:

Points are incurred for any cards left on hand at the end of a round - 25pts for an eight, 10pts for a face card, and face value for a spot card. Game over once looser reaches 100 pts, at that point the winner is the one with lowest score.
