About Crazy Eights

Crazy Eights is a classic card game that has inspired many modern games including UNO. The goal is simple: be the first player to get rid of all your cards. Players take turns playing a card that matches either the suit or rank of the card on top of the discard pile. If you can't play a matching card, you must draw from the deck until you can play. The magic happens with the 8s - they're wild! When you play an 8, you get to choose the suit that the next player must match. This adds a strategic element to the game. Our AI opponents will challenge you at three difficulty levels. Easy opponents make occasional mistakes, medium opponents play solid basic strategy, and hard opponents will remember what cards you've played and anticipate your moves.
