目的
Be the first player to discard all cards from your hand.
概要
Crazy Eights is a shedding card game where players try to be the first to discard all their cards. Match the top card's suit or rank, or play an 8 to change the suit. Simple rules make it popular for all ages and groups of 2-7 players.
セットアップ
Use a standard 52-card deck (add a second deck for 5+ players). Deal 5 cards to each player (7 cards for 2 players). Place the remaining deck face-down as a draw pile. Flip the top card to start the discard pile.
遊び方
- On your turn, play a card that matches the discard pile's top card in suit or rank.
- If you cannot play, draw cards from the pile until you can play (or the pile is exhausted).
- Eights are wild: play an 8 at any time and declare the new suit.
- The next player must match your declared suit (or play an 8).
- Play continues clockwise until someone empties their hand.
- If the draw pile runs out, shuffle the discard pile (except the top card) to form a new draw pile.
勝利条件
The first player to play all their cards wins the round. For scoring, remaining players' hands count against them (8s = 50, face cards = 10, others = face value). Play to a target score (often 100 or 500).
戦略のヒント
Save your 8s for when you really need them - they're your best cards.
Watch what suits other players seem to be collecting or avoiding.
If you're stuck drawing many cards, play something undesirable to opponents.
Change suits to one where you have multiple cards.
Pay attention to the draw pile size - plan for when it might run out.
