That was great! I haven't played this in about 25 years and I'm trying to teach my kids a bunch of card games, including this one. Thank you!

Basically it’s uno. But draw 3

As I'm learning different card games I have to say that this is the best instruction out there. It's the best out of a wild bunch of varying rules. The camera angle is great and the pace of instruction just right. I'll be viewing your other games.

The funny thing is we play it a little different - the ace is wild, not the eight. - 2 adds +2 cards to the opponent next in turn. However the ace nullifies the deuce's power. You can stack as many 2s as you want in one turn. If you play the 2 card and the opponent next in turn has a 2... The effects will stuck up and the +4 will move to the next opponent. - 7 is the reverse (yes, uno reverse lol) - 8 is the chance card... meaning you can throw another card of the same suit or another 8 of a different suit - J is the "jump over the next player" card. Meaning the next player will not have that turn until it come back around to them The scoring... we initially give a number of points. Example 500 and then reduce them to 0 according to the points. - ace = 50 - 2 = 20 - 3 ~ 10 = nominal value - J/Q/K = 10 Cards that can't start the pile... any card that has an extra effect on play. I.e. 1,2,7,8 and J The number of draws is limited to 1 if you do not have the the suit of card on the pile. When the cards are finished in the pile, the game can continue by reshuffling the cards, leaving the last played card on the pile as the start card. You can challenge when some one plays their last card by matching the card they have played. E.g. if the won by playing a 9... any one with a 9 can "challenge" and the game will continue. Note this will leave the player with no cards. The player can only pick up a card win it's their turn once again. Note: you can not when with a card that has some special play power I.e. 1,2,7.... Those are the slight changes to this video's crazy eights... I know... CRAZY!! 😅

I haven't played this game in years. Thanks to this video I remember how to play. Very clear and concise instructions; no "ums", "ers", or back-tracking because of forgotten rules. I can tell this was scripted, which makes a huge difference in overall quality, too. This video can be used to teach people who have never played before, and will completely avoid confusion. I highly recommend this video.

I love this game so much, I used to play it with my friends in high school, really fun!

A great video, you explained the game very clearly and can be understood unlike other videos about card games.

Great lesson. This guy is a good teacher. Good video presentation. Good examples of how to play. Does a great job of showing the initial steps and rules objectives etc.

Thanks for the clear instructions, I have been trying to learn this game for a long time.

This is such an enjoyable site to visit and refresh my memory of games I played as a child. Thank you.

Used to play this with my mom! Memory tells me we kept drawing and drawing until we got a suitable card (not limited to 3) and would flip the discard deck over, shuffle and keep going if we ran out. This was a fun game.

We played it a little different growing up. We used the jokers as a wild card as well as the 8s to change the suit. Also, if the player could play a 2 of any suit and players had to draw 2. And if you didnt say last card players could call you out and you'd have to draw a card.

Your all videos are nice , you explained everything clearly.

This is the most simplest explanation and easy to understand have ever had

Thank you for the clear instructions. It was easy to follow!

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you!

Waaait no hang on I played the game where of the deck runs out you flip the deck over and keep picking

Nice tutorial. Very clear.

thank you for the post...teaching my kids cards....its been maybe 40 for me....

A variation of Crazy Eights included in the 2014 edition of Hoyle Card Games by Encore Software is known as Very Crazy Eights. In that version, the cards are color-coded red, blue, green, and yellow, instead of suits. An 8 in Very Crazy Eights acts as it usually does, but if you play a Jack, the next player has to skip their turn. The red queen forces you to draw 5 cards and lose your turn. If a 2 is played, the next player must either play a 2 or draw 2 cards, but they don't lose a turn. Multiple 2's can be stacked on each other; if this happens, whoever doesn't have a 2 has to draw the grand total of cards in the stack. 4 2's means to draw 8 cards if you do not have a 2. The winner is the first player to play all their cards. If playing for points, the scores are the same as the regular game.

very helpful thank you

Are there different versions of this game? I downloaded some Crazy Eights apps that allow eights to start a game and give points for having no cards left, and give no points for having cards left.

When I learned this game we were allowed to play two of the same number as another way to change the suit. For example if it was diamonds and you had a 4 of diamonds and a 4 of clubs you could play them both with the diamond first, changing the suit to clubs.

Finally! I've been playing this card game for years but didn't know how it was called

Well elaborated. Thanks

Thanks so much :))) won my first game with your help !

I loved game and playing a question if in game a player suppose game of ♠️ is going and i have only one playable card ie 8 ♠️ now in this is eight a regular card or trump and i can change colour

Earnt a subscription really spelled out the rules easily.

Looks cool, gonna try it someday.

I played this but I was thought different rules: If you played a jack you played another card if you can. If you played a 2 the following player had to take 2 cards no matter if he was able to discard or not.

Awww I played this at like 4 years old idk how tf I knew how to play that young the good ol days

Thanks because I knew the rules but I wanted to check so thanks

crazy 8s if player puts down 2 i draw two cards but if i cant play is my turn done or do i still pick up my one card like always

You can combine the rules of Crazy Eights and UNO in the standard deck. (4 suits, 13 ranks with jokers). Suits (spades, clubs, heart, diamond) Aces = Number 1 Numbers 2-10 (except 8s) = Face Value Jacks = Reverse Queens = Skip Kings = +2 Number 8s = Wild Jokers = Wild +4

Thanks

Can you tell me the name of the intro music please

I've been very confused with all of the games my family has been throwing at me and now I'll throw this at them.

Great vid (y)

This is not how I was taught to play. I’ve been taught to always deals 8 cards to each player hence the name crazy eights as well as when you play a 2 of any suite the next player picks up 2 cards, if you play a 2 of spades the next player picks up 4, and if you play a queen of spades the next player picks up 5. Finally if you play a jack the next player misses their turn. Without those rules the game is really boring and dry

Is there supposed to be eight rounds max or whatever you choose?

How many the number queen left in their hand? (10 or 20)

Wasn't there a rule where if a player plays a 2 (TWO), the next player picks up 2 cards automatically?

Playing this game like crazy right now with my family because of this corona virus. We are all stuck indoors and trying to help not spread this virus, you all stay safe out there.

thanks man

Thank you

This game is a very easy game to add variants to - I play with the following rules: - each player is dealt five cards face down initially, regardless of group size - if you are unable to play, you only draw one card, and play passes to the next player, regardless of whether that card is playable - if the draw pile is exhausted, i shuffle the discard pile bar the last card to replenish it - whoever wins the hand would score the total of the other player’s unplayed cards

Can we play an 8 on top of another 8?

why after the spade 8 the heart 8 was played though you said that they have to be in the same suit?

I actually created my own version of this game! Five Card WildCards A- Wild 50pt 2- Draw Two 20pt 3-3pt 4- Draw Four 20pt 5-5pt 6- 6pt 7-7pt 8- Play Again 20pt 9- 9pt 10-10pt J- Reverse 20pt Q- Skip 20pt K- Discard All 20pt Joker- Wild Draw Five 50pt

can i put more than one card? if the middle pile is 10 and I have two 10s?

Doint u start with 8 and if u pick up, u pick up 1 card?

I was taught you deal 8 cards. There's 8 rounds and each round you deal 1 less card. For example, round one everyone gets 8 cards, round 2 everyone gets 7 etc. If a 2 Is placed the next person has to place a 2 or a joker. If they don't have a 2 or a joker they have to draw 2 for the 2 or 4 for the joker. If the next player does have a 2 or a joker it keeps going around the table until a player doesn't have a 2 or a joker and they have to add up the 2's/jokers that were played and draw that many cards. 3 skips, 8 changes suit. When you get down to 1 card you have to say "last card" if you don't and someone catches you, you have to draw a card. The person with the lowest score at the end of the 8 rounds wins.

Mad eights is an amazing game

Okay i have an important question to ask and i would appreciate it if you reply back. The ace counts as 1 or 14?

South African version 2=2draws Ace can avoid 2 draws. 7=skip a player Anycard card get on top of an ace. 8 wild card

Why is 8-spades followed by a heart?

U r a bro mannnnn

So it’s pretty much like uno. Can this be played with 10 players?

Never heard of this game before. I find out it from show "Family Feud". It was a question: Name a game where is easy to cheat and the man answered Crazy 8-th's.

UNO is new, crazy 8 has been here for decades

If my card doesnt match then i have to draw 3 cards?

I’m confused is the person who gets a score of 100 win or lose

This is an old card game known in Germany as Mau-Mau, and its the inspiration for the world popular card game UNO.

ok it’s retextured uno. nice

For those that say "its basically Uno"... Uno was created because the creator got in a argument with his son about the rules of Crazy Eights. As you can see from the comment section people play the game a bit differently. So why not make it simple: colours that even kids know, a simple + by a number, and symbols not confuse which cards meant what. And that was back in 1971

I've been playing this game all my life, many rules are omitted or different, like 10 means skip turn, Ace means draw 2 and can be diverted by a following Ace making it draw 4, if you play a Jack you need to follow it with a card, if you can't you keep drawing until you find a card, and if it's your turn and you can't play, you can't skip you have to draw once, and finally when a player is done the game is not over until 3 players finish, the last one get's punished according the rank of the remaining cards, without these rules the game is boring

I lik that you omit "special card" rules (e.g, queens skip, deuces are draw cards that stack), as those to me are not Crazy Eights but a variation of UNO with a standard deck. Also, by NOT reusing the discard pile when the draw deck runs out, hands don't go on and on with no end in sight! But I learned from the books that one draws until one can play or the deck runs out. DO NOT PLAY UNO THIS WAY! It is not in the official rules, and results in very long games.

UNO is a direct reference to Crazy 8s.

I play it a bit difference... if an 8 is flipped at the start, the next player chooses their suite..... if it's a 2, you pick up two cards, then if that player has a 2, they can play it and the next player has to pick up four cards and so on... queen of spades is pickup 5... if I put a jack down, the next player skips their turn..... if I have an 8, I can switch to anything I want... fun game to play.... take care ya'll!

What means pass

Who else is here bc their dad is making them learn a card game to teach the family tonight so we can do something this quarantine😭 cause I am.

So it's like Uno.. without announcing UNO.

This not how we play crazy 8 in my country but i love it though

For the people saying it's like UNO. Uno was a ripoff of this. Crazy Eights was around for ever before someone decided to make a corporatized version of it.

Doesn't k mean carry on?

2:41 No, you flip the discard pile just like online mode.

Decks of playing cards: 2 players: 52 cards 3-5 players: 2x52 cards

It's kinda like UNO

Oh so it’s like bomb

Can you win with an 8? 😐🤔

sounds like uno but with playing cards instead of uno cards

Nevermind lost the 2nd game :’(

We actually had to remove the 3 card pass rule so we can just basically laugh at our opponents for having the whole deck in their 2 hands Also whoever finishes the round just wins immeadietely instead of keeping score +A buncha rules removed so it became uno

We don't play it like this ins South Africa 😂😂😂

this reminds me of uno

Feels like I’m playing uno

hardest game ever

You forgot when you play a 2 your opponent needs to pick up 2 and when you play a Queen of Spades your opponent needs to pick up 5

1:58

Weird that its literally uno but somehow more fun honestly

Printing out cards on some years-old photo card with an ageing printer? ✓ Finding additional games to play besides Snap? ✓ Well, thank you dearly for this informative video.

I'm here cause I was given cards for father day. But also covid was here. And I'm trying to keep the family busy. With fun card games.

So basically uno

So confusing

Basically, if you know how to play Uno, then you know how to play this.

King of the Hill brought me here.

Who else tryna find out for iMessages 🤣🤣

We play it much differently in south africa🤣

Like if joker means pick 8

Like if joker means pick 5
