2-6 players
Crazy Eights
A quick shedding game where players match the active suit or rank, with 8s acting as wild cards.
Goal
Be the first player to empty your hand.
Turn Flow
- Each player starts with 5 cards by default, or 7 cards when that house rule is enabled.
- On your turn, play one legal card or draw according to the room's draw rule.
- After a normal draw, play any legal card in your hand or keep the drawn cards and end your turn.
- A legal card matches the active suit, matches the active rank, or is an 8.
- When an 8 is played, the player chooses the next active suit.
- Optional Queens skip, Aces reverse, and draw-two 2s change turn flow when enabled.
Legal Moves
- PLAY_CARD with one card from your hand.
- PLAY_CARD with an 8 and a chosen suit.
- DRAW_CARD to draw one card by default, draw until playable, or resolve a draw-two penalty.
- END_DRAW_TURN to keep cards from a normal draw instead of playing.
- When a draw-two penalty is active and stacking is enabled, PLAY_CARD with another 2 to stack the penalty.
Winning
The first player to play their last card wins immediately.
Current MVP Limitations
- No scoring across rounds or jokers yet.
- Queen, Ace, draw-two, and stacking rules only apply when the host enables those house rules.
- Drawing a draw-two penalty always ends the turn; penalty cards cannot be played immediately.
