Crazy Eights is the classic shedding card game, played against one to three computer opponents. Match the top card’s suit or rank, and use an eight at any time to call a new suit. Can’t play? Draw until you can. Empty your hand first to win the round and score the cards your opponents are still holding — first to the target score wins the match. Choose easy, normal or hard computer players.
