About this game

Crazy Eights is the fast shedding card game that half the world grew up playing with a battered deck on a kitchen table, and the family that the famous coloured-card games come from. Everyone gets seven cards. On your turn you lay one on the discard pile that matches the top card's suit or its rank, and the first player to get rid of every card wins the round. Can't match? Draw. And the eights are wild: play one on anything and name the suit everyone else has to follow. This version plays with action cards switched on, the way most people play at home. A two makes the next player draw two cards unless they can stack another two on it and pass the bill along, so a chain of twos can land four, six or eight cards on somebody. A queen skips the next player. An ace reverses the direction of play. Prefer it pure? One tap switches the actions off for the classic game where only the eights are special. You play against three computer opponents at the table, and every opponent who is down to a single card gets a big Last card! tag, so a sudden finish never comes out of nowhere. Rounds take a couple of minutes. The winner of each round scores the cards left in everybody else's hand, eights worth fifty and court cards ten, and the first to one hundred points takes the match. Easy opponents play whatever they like. Hard ones hold their eights until they need them, name the suit they are strongest in, switch to a suit the next player has shown they are out of, and aim twos and queens at whoever is about to go out. Win a match and you can send a friend a link to the exact same deal. No download and no sign-up, on a phone or a computer.
