Crazy eights is nearly identical to The Uno card game. The only difference is that this game uses a standard 52 card deck, which is easier to find. Here is how you play it.
Each player gets 5 cards and the deck is put in the middle with the first card flipped over. That suit is the color you must play on your turn, but you can even play a card of the same rank.
So if the first card is a 6 of diamonds you can play a 6 of hearts on top of it. Then hearts become the new suit, and so on.
The eights take the place of wild cards because you can place them on anything and just call out a suit. That suit is the suit that everybody must play with now.
All the other rules are the same as Uno, when you can not place a card down you draw until you can; you need to get rid of your cards, and so on.
The only bad thing is the fact that this game does not have all of the cards like draw two and skip. That kind of is a little bit of a bummer. But you can use your creativity and change that. More…
