Crazy Eights: Card Games

Gameplay & Mechanics

• Core Goal: Be the first player to get rid of all your cards by matching the color (suit) or number of the card currently in play.

• Special Action Cards:

  • 8s (Wildcards): Can be played at any time to change the active color or suit.

  • Reverse Ace: Flips the direction of play.

  • +2: Forces the next opponent to draw two extra cards.
