Crazier Eights Overview
Many decisions had to be made for Crazier Eights, and I will discuss many of those decisions here. Keep in mind that my decisions could still change at some point in the future. The game is still in the prototype stage. Continue reading
Rules Document (Updated 5/18/14)
Note (6/22/14): These cards & rules are a bit out of date. The new rules can be found here, and the new version of rules cards can be found here.
I have made the following document for Crazier Eights (First Edition) to explain all the rules needed to play the game. The Game Crafter charges a great deal of money for a rulebook and they shuffle the rules cards into the deck in a way that customers could find confusing. I am thinking that using a document (a piece of paper) for the rules is the best way to go (perhaps in addition to one or more rules cards). Continue reading
Crazier Eights Glossary
Crazier Eights uses terminology that should be understood in a certain way. This glossary defines the terminology that is used.

color – There are four different colors of cards: yellow, red, blue, and green. Each color of card also has a different suit shown on the upper right-hand side of the card.
control – A card that is in play on the table is controlled by the player who played it unless another player gains control of it. Whoever controls a card does whatever is stated on it, but some cards have the same effect on all players. Continue reading
What is Crazier Eights?
Crazier Eights is a card game that I developed that has a fantasy theme, uses colorful cards, has many interesting card abilities, and features excellent artwork.

In Crazy Eights, players take turns discarding cards and the player who has zero cards in hand wins. UNO is based on Crazy Eights. Continue reading
Crazier Eights First Edition Spoiler (Updated 5/5/14)
Update (8/4/15): This spoiler is a out of date. Go here to see the current spoiler.
One great thing about Crazier Eights is that there can be multiple versions of the game that have a different variety of cards. I have four main versions I have been working on. I feel that Series 1 is now at the point that it could be worth publishing. I will present all the cards below. You can take a look at let me know if you think anything should be improved.
A New Look For Wild Cards (Part 3)
The colorful shiny wild card frame I made a couple days back ended up being harder to read than I anticipated, but I made a new similar frame that might work: Continue reading
A New Look For Wild Cards (Part 2)
I feel like the new wild card frames I made yesterday might be a bit inconsistent with the regular card frame. I made some frames that look a bit more like the regular card frame I could use instead. Take a look:
