About Crazy Eights
Like UNO? Well meet it's daddy: Crazy Eights. Did you know, that the name Crazy Eights dates to the 1940s, derived from the military designation for discharge of mentally unstable soldiers, Section 8? The game is very popular especially with children. There are many variations of the basic game, and a number of different names including Crates, UNO, Last One, Mau-Mau, Pesten, Rockaway, Spoons, Swedish Rummy, Switch, Last Card, Screw Your Neighbour, and Tschausepp.
Crazy Eights overview
Eight cards are dealt to each player. Players discard by matching rank or suit with the top card of the discard pile, starting with the player left of the dealer. If a player is unable to match the rank or suit of the top card of the discard pile and does not have an eight, he draws one card from the stockpile. If he has a card he can play it otherwise the turn passes to the next player. If still doesn't have a card, he passes a turn to a next player. When a player plays an eight, he or she must declare the suit that the next player is to play.
As an example: Once the six of clubs is played the next player can:
- play any of the other sixes
- play any of the clubs
- play any eight (must declare the suit)
- draw from the stockpile
Scoring:
Points are incurred for any cards left on hand at the end of a round - 25pts for an eight, 10pts for a face card, and face value for a spot card. Game over once looser reaches 100 pts, at that point the winner is the one with lowest score.

It seems like the person who made this doesn't know most of the games rules, like 2 is pick up 2 miss a turn, 4 is miss a turn and others play with jacks as miss a turn, queen of spades is pick up 5 miss a turn, some even with a card to reverse the order of play from clockwise to counter clockwise. Also there is a rule that says u can put down 2 of the same number so that it changes the suit. One more thing that would be good is choosing how many people u can play against. It's good concept but needs work

This game doesn't follow any rules and you collect unwanted points at the end. The 2 doesn't even make someone pick up two and the jack doesn't skip a turn. Also it forces you to play an 8 even if you don't want to at that moment!

I like the game, but have to keep uninstalling it because it won't let me choose a suit and it won't pass because it thinks I have a card to play (an 8) so I have to keep drawing. I won't install it again.

The only thing I don't like is that I can't quit the game & come back later & pick up where I left off. It always starts a new game. Would be 4 stars if not for that.

Nice graphics. Great gameplay. If anything, I'd like to see a rotation of the characters since they all play differently. Sam messes me up every time!
