Mark Meredith reviewed Crazier Eights: Camelot. Go here to take a look.
Where the game really shines is that once you have multiple assets out on the table, keeping an eye on all of the ongoing effects changes the game dramatically. It feels a bit like Fluxx at this point, where with every card you play, you have to keep an eye out on the table for everyone else’s abilities.

Edward Kabara reviewed Crazier Eights: Camelot for Throat Punch Games, and gave the game 92% total. Check it out here.
I like its simple nature, the rules work well, and the art and theme tie things together. It’s not perfect, but the flaws are few and far between. I think the fluxx comparison is a good one. It doesn’t have the humor of Fluxx, but the serious art drives home the theme and keeps me in the game.

The official Crazier Eights Facebook group can be found here. This is often the best way to keep up with any updates and give me feedback. Sometimes I will ask for advice and you can let me know what you think.
One person who joins the group will get a free high quality prototype of Crazier Eights: Camelot, and one person who joins will get a copy of the original version of Crazier Eights. Terms and conditions can be found here. The prize will be determined at the start of 1 December 2016.
Illias Errati won the prize, a jumbo deck, in October.
My friend David Lam came up with the idea of making it a King Arthur theme game. The Undead Viking’s first review of an earlier version of the game also helped motivate me to go all the way with the Camelot theme because he emphasized the King Arthur-themed cards that were already in there.
Board Game Geek recently started to advertise for me (for a price). I had a good click through rate, but it wasn’t translated to many pledges. I changed the ads and tried to learn about how to make them more effective. We will see how that works out.
The main tips that caught my attention were the following:
You can send them several ads, and they favor ads with a high click through rate. So, they try to help you use the most effective ads and mainly use the most effective ones. Of course, ads that that actually lead to a pledge on Kickstarter can be more difficult to figure out.
More details can be seen below.

Dave Taylor of Go Fatherhood reviewed the game. Go here to take a look.
He concludes:
All in all, I’d say that Crazier Eights is definitely an interesting variation on Crazy Eights with more complexity and considerably more strategy required. Possibly imbalanced for just two players, you can play with up to four or add a second deck and play with up to eight people at the same time!
