Crazy Eightsplay the wild-8s card game online, free

Crazy Eights is a shedding card game played with a standard 52-card deck. Players take turns playing a card that matches the top of the discard pile by suit or rank, and 8s are wild. The first player to get rid of every card wins the round, and the other players score penalty points for the cards they still hold. It is also written as "Crazy 8s" or "Crazy 8".

Deal 7 cards each for two players or 5 cards each for three or four, and turn one card up to start the discard pile. On your turn, play a card that matches the top discard by suit or rank, or play an 8 and name the next suit. If you cannot play, draw one card and play it if it fits. The first player to empty their hand wins the round; everyone else adds the value of the cards they hold, and the match ends when someone reaches 100 points.

An 8 is wild. You can play it on any card at any time, and when you do you name the suit that the next player must match. The next player can also respond with another 8. An 8 left in your hand at the end of a round costs 50 points, the most of any card.

Seven cards each in a two-player game, and five cards each with three or four players. The remaining cards form the draw pile, with one card turned face up to start the discard pile. This version starts with an ordinary card, never an 8.

No — and in this version you cannot. You may only draw when nothing in your hand is playable. If you draw a card that fits, you can play it right away; if it does not, your turn passes to the next player.

When a player goes out, each other player scores the value of the cards in their hand: 8 = 50 points, King, Queen and Jack = 10 each, Ace = 1, and every other card its face value. The winner of the round scores nothing. When any player reaches 100 points the match ends and the lowest total wins, so low scores are good.

Shed high-value cards early, save 8s for turns when you would otherwise have to draw, and name the suit you hold the most of after playing one. Watch opponents’ hand sizes: when someone is down to one or two cards, use your 8s to change the suit and slow them down.

Play an 8 when it saves you from drawing, when it lets you go out, or when an opponent is about to go out and you need to change the suit. Holding 8s to the very end is risky because each one costs 50 points if an opponent goes out first.

Your matches won, rounds won, win streaks, best match score, sound setting and opponent count are saved locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server and there is no account. Because the save lives on the device, a different phone, a new browser profile, or cleared site data looks like a fresh start. A game in progress is not saved if you close the tab.

Yes. The layout is built for touch: tap a lifted card to play it, tap the draw pile when you are stuck, and tap a suit after an 8. Your hand, the piles and the computer players fit on one portrait screen, and starting a new game is instant with no page reload.
