Crazy Eights

  1. Objective: Be the first player to empty your hand of all cards.
  2. Setup: 2-7 players. Each player starts with 5 cards. The rest form the 'stock' pile. Flip the top card to start the 'discard' pile.
  3. Gameplay: On your turn, you must play a card onto the discard pile that matches the top card's rank (e.g., a 7 on a 7) or suit (e.g., a Heart on a Heart).
  4. Wild Card: An Eight (8) is a wild card. It can be played on *any* card. The player who plays it must declare which suit the *next* player must match.
  5. Drawing: If you cannot play a matching card or an Eight, you must draw one card from the stock pile. You can play this card immediately if it's a legal play; otherwise, your turn ends.
  6. Winning: The first player to play their last card wins the game. (Many rules require you to say 'Last Card' when you have one card left).
