How to play Crazy Eights
Be the first to get rid of all your cards. Play against 1, 2 or 3 computer players (choose in the toolbar).
Rules
- Each player gets 7 cards (5 cards with 3–4 players). The top card of the stock starts the discard pile.
- On your turn play a card that matches the suit or the rank of the top discard.
- Eights are wild: play an 8 at any time and choose the suit the next player must follow.
- If you can't play, tap the stock to draw until you get a playable card. When the stock runs out the discard pile is reshuffled; if nothing can be drawn you pass.
Scoring
When someone goes out, every other player scores penalty points for the cards left in hand: 8 = 50, K/Q/J = 10, Ace = 1, other cards at face value. The game ends when a player reaches 100; the lowest total wins.
Tips: hold your eights for emergencies, get rid of high cards early and switch to a suit your opponents seem to lack.
