RULES:
The object of the game is to have the fewest points and the object of each round is to be the first player to get rid of all the cards in your hand. Be aware that there are many variations and house rules to this game, so you should agree on them before starting.
Shuffle a standard 52 card deck of playing cards and each player picks one card. The player with the lowest card becomes the dealer. King is high and ace is low. The dealer shuffles the deck and deals 5 cards 1 at a time to each player. Players look at their own cards but keep them hidden from their opponents. The dealer places the deck facedown to form a draw deck and discards the top card to start the discard pile. If the flipped card is an 8, the 8 is to the deck and a new card is flipped.
The player to the left of the dealer goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn you must play a single card onto the discard pile that matches either the rank or suit of the top card. The only exception to this is an 8. 8’s are wild and can be played on anything. When you play an eight, pick a suit. The next card played must either match the picked suit or be another 8.
If you are unable to play, then you must draw cards from the draw deck until you can play or once you have drawn 5 cards, whichever comes. Once a player gets rid of all of their cards, the round is over and points are tallied. Player’s receive points based on the cards remaining in their hand. 8s are worth 50 points. Face cards are worth 10 points. Numbered cards are worth their face value, and aces are worth 1.
Gather up all the cards and the role of dealer rotates clockwise by one. Once 1 player has 100 points or more, the game ends and the player with the fewest points wins. - Jak na to + styl

'Uno' creators: Is for me? 👉👈
Everyone who is watching this yes everyone. We all know this a playing card version of uno. We all know. But still a good vid.
Everyone knows (including me,) you’re correct.
@@parinuser yessss, i aaam
@@parinuser yes
No uno is a version of this
@@conairesmall588 either way, uno is way more popular. it's like oreos and hydrox, hydrox might be first but people prefer oreos.
This was helpful and easy to understand. Also very quick! Just what I was looking for. Thank you
2s are draw 2, aces are draw 4, 8s are wild, Queens are reverse, Jack's are skips, deal 8 cards usually per player, pick up card if lack suit and allowed to put down, Jokers are left out of play. Way we played growing up
Wow
Wb kings
actulay 7 is skip jocker is pick 5, 2s are draw 2, 8s are wild jacks are jack reverese, kings are keep on playing.. as he mentioned it has many variotions and any rule can be set before the game begins. but his is the standard edition
So this is uno
@@ksksje9742 kings aren't anything
It never occurred to me that UNO is a fancy variation of this game. Likewise, Skip-Bo is another way of playing a game normally played with 2 decks of cards, entitled Spite & Malice.
my family played Uno for years before the commercial version came out. It was called Screwy Louie (at least in my grandparents house) and used a regular deck. 2 cards were the take two, 7's were skip, jacks were wild, Aces reversed, jokers were wild take fours.
@@rebeccahaglund3736 That's interesting.
Skip-Bo is so much fun. My eleven-year-old daughter and I play it all the time. 😊
@@jenniferhansen3622 It is definitely one of my favorites.
Beautiful game and enjoyed how u explained the rules thanks
I play the game like this:
When you play an eight, you can choose the suit to whatever you want. And you can play it WHENEVER you want!
When you play a queen of spades, the other person has to pick up 5 cards.
You can do pairings!
The jack is a “miss a turn” card
And ace is called an “Ace’s unload”, where say if you played the ace of hearts, you can play every heart you have on top of that. It goes for any suit though
Whoever gets rid of their cards first wins, of course!
Funny how the rules in the Netherlands are very different.
I like that last rule of the aces. My gf and I play crazy 8's now and then and we like coming up with rules to make the game more fun. I'm gonna steal that Aces rule. Thanks!
Thank you! Now I can play this with my dad!
Thank you, this really helps!!
🤯 the version I played growing up in Zimbabwe in Africa was nothing like this 😂😂
2 - next player picks 2 cards
Joker - next player picked 5
A - blocks 2 and Joker
Jack - reverses play
King - play again
7 - next player misses a turn .
When we were feeling a bit ‘crazy’ we would add the 2s and jokers from another deck 😂😂.Now that was Crazy 8s!
Mop p. Own pp Bob. B. B. P n n n w
That's the one!
This is how we played it in Africa too back in the 70s. Lesotho.🇱🇸🇱🇸
Thank you! I haven't played in YEARS, I completely forgot the rules😂😂
I appreciate the breakdown!! It helped A Lot!! Thanks!!
Thanks for helping appreciate it
Me, an African who's been playing crazy 8 with a whole lot of different rules: 👁👄👁
Yeah, I like to add additional rules as well to some of the values. The ones we play are:
Aces- You and next player in sequence trade one card.
Twos- Force Next player to draw 2 cards
Threes- Everyone in game passes three cards to next player in sequence. (Better for larger groups and can result in players going backwards)
Fours- Tuck a card underneath as you play this card (it can be offsuit to the four being played)
Jacks- Skip next player in order
Queens- Dump as many of matching suit as you wish underneath the queen
King- Reverse
What house rules do you have?
Right?? an A spade should be worth 100:)

This was a great explanation video. Thanks
Thanks; clear and concise which I really appreciate. Played for years; then haven't played for. years. I needed the refresher.
Same! I used to play this over and over and over as a kid and teen but haven’t played in over a decade!
We have a game like this in The Netherlands. It's called 'pesten' (bullying). But usually we work with 7 cards and there's more rules to the game. And we don't count the cards that are left, we just play untill someone has played all of their cards.
Looking for a new game for family nite. This is a classic, but I’ve never played it. It’s so much like UNO. The boys’ll love it! Thanks
We like to play it with Ace counts as 20 in the end. And you have to pick up cards until you can play, no matter how many you need to draw. I once had to pick up 12 haha.
I just picked up the whole deck at the end wym 12 😂
You can combine the rules of Crazy Eights and UNO in the standard deck. (4 suits, 13 ranks with jokers).
Suits (spades, clubs, heart, diamond)
Aces = Number 1
Numbers 2-10 (except 8s) = Face Value
Jacks = Reverse
Queens = Skip
Kings = +2
Number 8s = Wild
Jokers = Wild +4
What times if go thru the deck and no is out ? Do shuffle deck ?
lol, for fun me and my brother would play another way (and I'm sure its not an obscure rule) but after we finished the game we would continue on with a next round, in this case if you finished round 8, you move onto 7, then 6, then 5, and on until you reach ace. this game is actually longer this way but we had fun playing like this. it was like a race to the ace round
on second thoiught I'm not sure if its a rule at all now lmao, My Grandma invented the extended play thingy I think and we just picked it up from her
If you don't have a card to play & you draw until you get a card or until you've drawn 5 cards-then what? If you draw up to 5 cards and still don't have a play, do you just move on to the next player?
Lovvvveeeedddd the videooo!!!!!!!!!!
My friend and I use Jokers as +4 cards (they don't skip the victim's turn, nor do they stack) and then Aces as blocks for the Jokers (they just stop the +4 effect and uses your turn). I feel it adds a little more risk to the game and forces you to skip more often!

got here when agnes beat reddington on a vicious game of crazy eight lol
nyasar ke 2 video crazy eight UI design dulu
Thanks for the vid.
crazy 8s if player puts down 2 i draw two cards but if i cant play is my turn done or do i still pick up my one card like always
you pick up two cards and if you cant put one of them down then thats the end of your turn, the play moves on to the other player.
isnt there skip a turns? Jacks? 4s? pick up 2?
Thanks a lot 😁 also nice cards what edition is it ?
Thank you king!! Simple and to the point tutorial. Very king like behaviour
Lol wut
Guess he ACEd the explanation lol
thanks, man it was understandable and clear. Now I'm looking forward to play
When I play with friends or family we make 2’s and 3’s pick up 2 and 3. 9’s reverse’s and ace’s skip’s
thanks dude
That's sounds like Uno but with fewer steps.
more steps actually
@@zaraaziz1302 a lot less steps actually
Uno was made in 1971, Crazy 8s was first played in the 1930s and 1940s and predates Uno by decades, Uno is is just crazy 8s with more steps, not the other way around
@@JoshMarshain yah ok but uno
You can place an 8 down whenever you want.
What happens if you run out of cards from the draw deck?
You take the discard pile, shuffle the cards, place them down, and flip the top card over
I thought that:
2's
Jack's
7's
Ace's
And King's are power cards
I need your help bro. My relationship is in turmoil PLEASE READ MAN. So my girl and I were playing crazy eights. I won a game by dropping 2 8's. They are the same card. She says she called last card but thats a different argument. So for this lets just say she did. My hands were off the cards, the win was mine and they were a pair of 8's. She has a round where she plays a jack with a 10 as her last cards. She played them together, but they were two different cards. I called last card before her hands even left the two cards, cause she was trying to skip the seperate plays. My argument is she needs to pick up 2 and I dont. Can you help me find some peace? Thanks
Didn’t read but your girlfriend’s right. That’s how it works. After 5 months I hope this incident is behind you.
the way we play is you can put down both 8s in one move, not separately and the other players cannot fault you for not doing it separately nor saying last card. you won that game. she can win by placing a jack and 10 (same suit) AT the same time (not separately) and she does not need to say last card etc bc shes putting down 2 cards as her last move. you both win!! the ONLY time we say last card is when we end up holding ONE card, and when i split my last two cards, my card im about to put down, i say last card BEFORE i place it down.
@@ts4gv lol
It’s basically uno but you add the other three players cards at the end!!!! I’m goodwilling my uno deck now
No baget uno?
Can’t wait for the winning hand right?
The variant I'm most familiar with is like this:
At the start of the game, the players are all dealt 8 cards.
The main goal is to get rid of all your cards. I forget how scoring works, though...
These cards had specific powers to them:
2's made you draw 2 cards. You also lose your turn after drawing.
8's are wild, you can play them to change the suit into anything you want.
Jacks made you skip the turn of the next player.
The Queen Of Spades made you draw 5 cards. You also lose your turn after drawing.
Wait u said @1:20 that,
"When u play an 8, pick a Suit..."
.
.
Like for example I got 8's, I have to say "Diamond or Heart", and then the other person must proceed using a DIAMOND or HEART only?..
That's basically it right?..
I don't have to throw away a Suit & then the other guys proceed after me. Is that reasonable enough, can someone clarify.
you must state a single suit, spades, hearts, diamonds or clubs, and the next player in sequence must play a card of that suit, no matter the suit of the 8
What happens if I drop an ace?
well then u pick it up off the floor of course!
Accoding to google:
When you play a two next player draws 2 cards
When you play a jack the play goes counter-clockwise
When you play a joker the next player draws 4 cards and the one who played joker picks a suit
When you play a queen or king the next player's turn is skipped
The rules we played were 7 is skip, J is reverse, 2 is pick 2, joker is pick 5, ace is black, king is play again and 8 change of suite. Very similar to uno
Yeah the deck contains 4 suits with 13 cards each which means 52 cards without Joker's because in some games there are two Joker's: one red and one black
What about the Joker card??
Jose: 92 Bruno:38 gabby: 100~. Results for our first time of the game
Sounds fun
thx
how many cards should each person get????
When I was a kid I was taught everyone got 8 cards, but here they're saying 5, I guess either way lol
We play something similar like this, BUT, there are no wild cards
It's basically a fusion of Classic Rummy, and UNO.
Is this a braking bad reference?
Thank you very much. Subbed.
how do you play this with 2 people?
Deal 5 cards to each of you. Rest is the same.
Why is 8 the special rank? Why not ace or king? Why no joker?
What about joker
remember to call last card to the player with the last card, if you cll that befpre they do, they puck up thwir whole hand
In Zimbabwe we have different rules
So it's uno?
in france they called it huite americain so i guess it would translate to 8 american and the rules are just like Uno :
Anybody that have queen of heart plays first
A +2
Joker +4
8 change color
7 skip the turn
Jack change direction
and 10 let you play again
in romania this game is similar to macao or macaoa
So basically it's the ancestor of UNO
Ah, yes. The lore of UNO. Interesting that this was where it started.
crazy 8's is the inspiration to uno
Is that an old Bicycle deck?
127th anniversary edition, huh? It was written on the Jacks, Queens and Kings!
What’s this guys name, I love him? Someone tell me his @ please xx
How do you play the jokers? No mention of this.
We never used Jokers in this game
The 8 is the only Joker in this game.
Are you sure that the player with the fewest points wins?
*_Variation:_*
Aces - Reverses the direction of the play.
2 - The next player draws 2 cards and was skipped.
Queen - Skips the next player.
Joker - Like 8, it's also a Wildcard, but the next player draws 4 cards and was skipped.
(Note: Challenging is not allowed.)
I play the game where it goes like this:
Each player starts with 8 cards.
8’s are wild cards and it can be played at anytime and the player who played it picks a suit for the next player to play.
3’s skip the next player.
5’s skip the next player.
2’s make the next player draw 2 cards and skip their turn unless they have another 2 card. A player draws the number of cards players played in a row. For example, let’s say I played a 2, and the next player plays another 2. The next player after him doesn’t have a 2, so he has to draw 4 cards. 2 cards for each 2 played. Then his turn skips.
Ace of Spades makes the next person draw 5 cards and skip their turn. They must draw no matter what.
If a player has 1 card in their hand, they must say “Crazy Eights!”. If not, they draw 2 cards as a penalty if caught.
Whoever gets rid of their hand first wins!
Queen of Spades, not Ace of Spades, makes the next player draw 5 cards. And that variant is called "Very Crazy Eights".
@@TheRojo387 my version is that 10s are seen as a 8 eight but you make a person of choosing draw 3 cards a joker is like 8 and 10 but can reverse any move of his choosing and can make anybody give him any card whether that be a 10 8 or another joker but you can't use the joker after it's use for 5 turns if you get another it's pretty simple but I found that simple is better
Edit: Spade I'd a blocking system once you out one you can skip the turn after so if you use mine go for it if you so choose
Crazy 8’s is basically just a fancy uno
Jack means the next player misses a turn.
Uno creater saw this game and thought: "if it have a special card that make you pick more 4 cards this would be a f*cking sucess".
so pretty much taki and uno ?
Uno, more liks OTRO LOCO
Like UNO but 8's are WILD
Lynn said this is wrong
The uno game is like this in disguise
Its kinda like uno.
Bro is from action lab
I thought this term was something math related. Lmaooo I was wrong
The word randomly came to mind... so here I am.
Uno Creator: *take notes*
This game feels like Uno Lite
so its basically uno but more complicated
uno but simpler actually
its almost like uno
Sounds similar to UNO.
This reminds me of Uno...
Soo this is basicaly Uno but with a normal deck
ryan gosling?
Guy I'm a programmer. And you speak my code. Thank you for the awesome content. +Sub
Crazy Eights of 2008
Oh, yeah, house rules - so many of them that you think people aren't playing the same game...
Wait. Isn't that UNO?
uno is based on this, not the other way around
So basically uno
Crazy 8s Turn into Uno
extremely similar to UNO
Quite the opposite actually : Original card game (shown here) came out in 1930/1940 while the UNO came out in 1971. UNO was created only to resolve the problem of the cards effect (since there's to much variant).
@@Zekium The opposite of similar is dissimilar, different or opposite. So are you saying that the game you speak of is completely different, dissimilar or the opposite of UNO?
@@PappyMandarine The way you said it makes it believe the UNO was the inspiration to the crazy eight.
@@Zekium the way you understood it made you believe that UNO was the inspiration to crazy eight
