What is Crazier Eights: Arcadia?
Hades, Helen of Troy, Amazon warriors, and many other characters from Greek mythology come to life with Crazier Eights: Arcadia!

Winston Draft
The main idea of drafting a card game is to let everyone make their own deck using a shared pool of cards. The cards are chosen and divided by the players. Each player ends up having their own card pool using cards they chose. They can make their own deck of cards with cards from their own card pool.
Drafting is most popular with six to eight players, but it is also possible to have a two player draft using a Winston Draft, which was originally developed by Richard Garfield for Magic: the Gathering, as can be seen here. Continue reading
