This specific version of the game was developed and released by Zygomatic in 2017.
Quick Instructions
You are matched up against 4 other players and one standard deck is used.
- The goal of Crazy Eights is to be the first player to get rid of all your cards.
- On your turn, you must either play a legal card or draw a card from the stock pile.
- A legal card matches the top card on the discard pile in rank or suit.
- An 8 is a wild card. When you play an 8, you may choose the new suit that must be followed.
- If you play a legal card, discard it onto the discard pile.
As you can see this online version of the game is very simple since only the 8 has a special effect.
