Crazy Eights
Shed your hand first — and drop an 8 to change the suit.
How to play Crazy Eights
Match the card on top of the pile by suit or by rank. Any 8 is wild — play it any time and pick the next suit from the four on-screen suit buttons. If you can’t play, draw from the pile (up to three cards); if you still can’t, your turn passes. Special cards add bite: a 2 makes the next player draw two, and a Jack skips them. Empty your hand first to win the round; everyone else scores the pip value of their leftover cards. Play continues until someone hits 100 — the lowest total wins the match. Use the difficulty selector to face 1, 2, or 3 computer opponents.

Crazy Eights — frequently asked questions
How is Crazy Eights related to UNO?
Crazy Eights is the traditional card game that inspired UNO and the online "Four Colors" games. You match by suit or rank instead of color, and 8s act as the wild cards.
What do the 2 and Jack do?
Playing a 2 forces the next player to draw two cards and lose their turn, and playing a Jack skips the next player entirely. Chain them to slow down the leader.
How do I win?
Be the first to empty your hand to win a round; the other players add up the pips still in their hands as penalty points. Reach 100 total and the player with the fewest points wins the match — so low scores are good.
How many players can I face?
You can play against 1, 2, or 3 computer opponents. Pick easy (1 opponent), medium (2), or hard (3) with the difficulty control.
