- **a. How to Play Crazy Eights Deluxe**
- **----------------------------------**
-
- Crazy Eights, also known as Swedish Rummy and
- Snooker is played with a standard 52 card deck.
- There are many variations of this card game,
- Crazy Eights Deluxe is one version.
-
- The game starts with each player being dealt
- seven cards, and one card face-up in the center.
- The remaining cards form the playing deck.
- A player has the option of taking a card from
- the deck, or playing a matching card of the
- same rank or same suit as the face-up or heap
- card. For example, if the heap card is a 9 of
- diamonds, a player can either play another 9
- card, or a diamond card.
-
- All 8s are wild, and can be played at any time.
- The opponent must play another 8 card or a card
- matching the new suit.
-
- A player clicks on the Card Deck if they can not
- match the Heap card, and a card from the deck will
- be added to their hand. The player must continue
- to draw a card from the deck until they have a
- matching card, or an 8 card.
-
- The goal of the game is to play until one player
- has no cards left. If the card deck is gone play
- ends.
-
- SCORING: The player who runs out of cards first
- scores the total of points left in the opponent's
- hand. The 8s count 50, face cards 10, and all
- other cards count 5 points. In a "blocked" game
- the players total their points. The player with
- the lowest hand scores the point difference
- between the two hands. The first player to score
- a total of 200 points wins.
