Description

Crazy Eights is a computer implementation of the card game of the same name. The player plays against the computer and must play cards from his or her hand. Only cards matching value or suit with the card currently on the table can be played. Eights can always be played and allow to change suit. If no card can be played a new one needs to be drawn. The first player to lose all cards wins the round. The cards still remaining in the other's hands score penalty points.
