It is versatile and ideal for small or large groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Objective\"><\/span><span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">The Objective<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">The goal in Crazy Eights is to be the first player to\u00a0discard all your cards. You do this by matching the number or suit of the top card on the discard pile. Special &#8220;8&#8221; cards allow you to change the suit in play, which adds strategy to the game. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Game_Set-up\"><\/span><span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">Game Set-up<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">You only need a standard 52-card deck to start playing the classic card game. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Deal\"><\/span><strong><span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">The Deal <\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In its most basic form, two players receive seven cards from a conventional 52-card playing deck or five cards from two decks of 104 cards if more than two players are present. The remaining cards are dealt facedown to create the inventory, with the top card flipped up to begin the discard pile. If this hand is an 8, it is \u201cburied\u201d in the inventory, and the following card is drawn from it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gameplay\"><\/span><strong><span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">Gameplay<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Starting from the left of the dealer, each player plays by adding a card face up to the remaining cards or the discard pile of cards. Every card being played must equal the uppermost card in the discard pile by rank or suit. All 8s are the wild card and can be thrown at any moment, and the player who plays one can designate any suit for the following player to follow. <span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">If a player cannot play a card from their hand, they must draw cards from the draw pile until they get a playable card. If the draw pile runs out, they keep drawing from the top of the pile until they can make a move.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The game is over when the last card from someone\u2019s hand is revealed, or no one can equal the last card.<\/p>\n<p>The person who played out earns payment from each opponent according to the total face value of cards left in that opponent\u2019s hand, counting 50 points for each 8, 10 points for each face card\/s, and other cards at their number value. If the game \u201cblocks,\u201d the person with the lowest total of holding cards gets the difference between totals with each adversary. In the four-hand partner game, both partners should go out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO READ:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mplgames.com\/blog\/how-to-play-president-card-game\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>How to Play Presidents Card Game<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Switch_Popular_Variation_Of_Crazy_8_Card_Game\"><\/span>Switch <span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">(Popular Variation Of Crazy 8 Card Game)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In a switch development, a player who is unable to discard draws just one card from inventory, and some cards are subject to unique rules:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Aces are pretty powerful and considered wild (instead of 8s).<\/li>\n<li>Usually, when 2 is played, the following player is obliged to play a 2 or, if unable, to pull two cards from stock and skip a turn.
