Drafting Crazier Eights
The main idea of drafting a card game is to let everyone make their own deck using a shared pool of cards. Each player chooses what cards they want from the card pool in a particular way.
Drafting a card game became popular with Magic: the Gathering. One popular way to draft the cards is called a Cube Draft. A cube is a pile of cards selected specifically to use to have draft events.
One of every Crazier Eights game released in 2017 or after is enough cards for six players: Crazier Eights: Camelot, Crazier Eights: Avalon, Crazier Eights: One Thousand & One Nights, Crazier Eights: Shahrzad, Crazier Eights: Olympus, and Crazier Eights: Pantheon.
Two of all these games is enough cards for up to ten people to draft.
Secret Partners (Multiplayer Variant)
Secret Partners is an alternate way to play competitive multiplayer games (of fantasy card games). It changes how the game is played. I think it’s a good option for Crazier Eights. It’s a good option for certain fantasy card games in particular. (It was originally developed by people who play Magic: the Gathering.)
What is it?
The main idea is that there are two allied teams, and each team only has one player who is known to be on the team. The other players are on a team in secret, or a lone wolf.
What’s the point? Secret Partners adds a new layer of strategy, politics, and mind games to whatever game you can use it for. The players with a revealed team alliance are more vulnerable because they are a target to their opponents. Continue reading
Last Chance to Get Elysium Prototype
Want to help playtest the next version of Crazier Eights? The newest prototype for Crazier Eights: Elysium is up for sale. One regular version ($39) and one jumbo version ($79). Only one of each will be sold in all of human history (regarding version 0.7 of Elysium).
A prototype is an early sample, which can be used for play testing. This prototype has a high quality. It is not an official version of the game and the quality is different. It is expensive to have made because it is not mass produced.
Competitive Deck Construction
I have a new idea for competitive deck construction using Crazier Eights cards.
I discussed one idea for deck construction for Crazier Eights here. That idea is mainly to sculpt your own unique Crazier Eights deck and game using all the cards available, and the general expectation is that everyone will use the same deck when playing the game. Continue reading
