Eights 1.0.0.0

Description:

Eights also known as Crazy Eights, or Swedish Rummy uses a standard 52 card pack. For two players, the dealer deals seven cards to each one at a time. The remaining cards are placed face down on the table as stock, and the top card of the stock is turned face up and placed beside the stock to start the discard pile.

Player to the dealer's left plays first. On a player turn to play, the play is as follow:-

1. If the top card of the discard pile is not an eight, you may play any card which matches the rank or suit of the top face up card in the discard pile.

2. An eight may be played on any card, and the player of the eight must nominate a suit.

3. If an eight is on top of the pile, you must play either another eight or any card of the suit the eight card nominated.

4. A player who cannot match the top card on the discard pile by suit or rank must draw cards until he can play one. It is allowed to pull cards from the draw pile even if you already have a legal play.

The first player who gets rid of all their cards wins, and the other players score penalty points according to the cards they have left in their hands - 50 for an eight, 10 for a picture, and other cards as their face value. Ace is counted as one.

When the stock pile is exhausted, the played cards, except for the last card, are shuffled and stacked face down to make a new stock.
