Hi, Thanks for looking at my game.
This game started as a twine project and is now a card game mod.
This game is a mod of the "crazy eights" games, originating as "hearts".
It assumes that you have a physical set of cards (i.e. 52 playing cards + 2 jokers)
If you don't you can use online cards.
I found these sites but I am in no way affiliated with them, you can use any standard playing card deck to play this game.

Player objective : remove all cards from your hand – first player to do so wins that round.
How many rounds? Suggested : Three rounds. Alternatively, you can keep playing until the players wish to stop.

Game Example :
- Shuffle the deck. This game uses the entire of deck cards including 2 jokers (54 cards total).
- The dealer deals a round of 5 cards to each player. So, each player starts with a hand of 5 cards.
- The player to the left of the dealer begins the round.
- The remaining cards are placed in the centre with the top card flipped over and placed beside the pile. - To place a card, the card must have the same value or suit of the previous card in the pile.
- If the player can’t place a card, you can draw a card, if it happens for a second time, play passes to the next player.
- The round ends at any point where a player runs out of cards in their hand.
- Point system – whatever cards are left in your hand at the end of play, count as points (1 point per card).

Power cards (Joker [T] | Ace[A] | King[k] | Queen[Q] | Jack[J/B] | 8s [8] )
Each of the face cards has an ability attached.
Face cards = Joker | Ace | King | Queen | Jack
Eights (8s) are classed as wild cards – they can be named as any value when placed but keep the same colour as stated on the card.

Game controller – The game can be played infinitely (when the deck runs out, shuffle the deck, draw remaining cards required)
Or linearly (when the deck runs out no cards are further drawn, play with what you have left. If no cards can be played, player with the least number of cards wins the round). By playing linearly the players can use different strategies including;
– if u place a king after the deck is empty, you are getting rid of 3 cards instead of 1 with no pickups.
- if u place a jack after the deck is empty, you reset your hand to zero cards so can instant win.

- I would not advise playing with more than 8 players (as you get a tiny amount of cards left in the deck).
