Crazy Eights

About

Crazy Eights is a popular card game known for its simplicity and fun gameplay. It is often played with a standard 52-card deck, although specialized decks can also be used. The game supports two or more players, making it accessible to a wide range of groups. The objective is to be the first player to eliminate all cards from their hand by matching either the suit or the rank of the top card on the discard pile. The "8" cards serve as wild cards, allowing players to change the suit of play whenever they are used. Gameplay involves each player taking turns to play a card that matches the current top card. If a player cannot play a card, they must draw from the deck until they can play or reach a maximum number of draws. The game continues until one player has played all their cards, ending the round. Points are then tallied based on the cards remaining in players' hands, with the game concluding when a player reaches 100 points. Crazy Eights is a versatile game with many variations, allowing players to customize rules to suit their preferences.
