The classic wild card game that inspired Uno
Crazy Eights is the fast-paced, easy-to-learn card game that inspired modern classics like Uno. Your goal is simple: be the first player to get rid of all your cards!
On each turn, play a card that matches the top card of the discard pile by either suit or rank. Playing a 7 of hearts? You can play any heart or any 7. But here's where it gets crazy - Eights are wild! Play an 8 at any time and choose the new suit that other players must match.
Can't play a card? Draw from the deck until you can. The game continues until one player empties their hand and wins the round!
Rules not available.
Crazy Eights emerged in the 1930s and quickly became one of America's most popular card games. Its simple matching mechanic and wild card concept proved so compelling that it directly inspired the creation of Uno in 1971.
The game goes by many names around the world: Swedish Rummy, Crates, Last One, and Pesten (Dutch). Each variation adds its own twists, but the core gameplay remains the same addictive formula that has entertained families for nearly a century.
