Crazy Eight

Crazy Eights is a turn-based card game played with a standard 52-card deck. The goal of each hand is to get rid of all of your cards.

✓ Each player is dealt seven cards.

✓ The remaining cards become the draw pile.

✓ The top card is turned over to start the discard pile.

In turn, each player must discard exactly one card face up on the discard pile. Except when an 8 is on top of the pile, the discarded card can be either

✓ The same rank as the topmost card on the discard pile.

If the top card were the 6 of clubs, you could discard any 6.

✓ The same suit as the topmost card on the discard pile.

If the top card were the 6 of clubs, you could discard any club.

✓ Any 8.

You may discard an 8 at any time, and name a suit for the next player to play.

When an 8 is on top of the pile, the next player must discard a card of the named suit.

If a player doesn’t have an appropriate card to discard, the player must continue drawing cards from the draw pile until an appropriate card is drawn and played.
