About Crazy Eights
Crazy Eights is a quick shedding game that scales from a duel to a seven-seat table. Match the current rank or suit, use an eight to redirect the table, and pay attention to shrinking hands before another player escapes.
Rules in brief
How to play Crazy Eights
- 01
Play one card matching the rank or suit of the discard pile's top card.
- 02
An eight is wild and lets you choose the suit that the next player must follow.
- 03
Draw when you cannot play, and be the first to empty your hand. If the stock runs low, the discard pile is recycled safely.
