I will have a launch party for Crazier Eights: Camelot on October 11th, 2016 at Legends Comics & Games (Santa Clara) starting at 7:00. This is a celebration for the start of the Kickstarter campaign. Get food, try the game out, or play other tabletop games! You can invite Facebook friends to the Crazier Eights Launch Party here. You can find more information and get free tickets here. There’s no need for a ticket, but it can be helpful to me.
What’s Crazier Eights: Camelot?
First, what’s Crazier Eights?
Crazier Eights is a game system I developed using a single deck of cards for up to four players. There (hopefully) will be many versions of Crazier Eights. To play Crazier Eights, you start with seven cards, and the first player to have zero cards in hand wins. At the beginning of your turn, you draw a card. Then you may play a card from your hand for an effect, and you may discard a card from your hand. Continue reading
Crazier Eights: Camelot reviewed by Fairway 3 Games
The reviewers conclude, “Camelot definitely takes the Crazy Eights game and makes it crazier. The nicely integrated art is welcome. And by introducing Fluxx-like rules changes and new sets of powers and effects, Crazier Eights will definitely appeal to fans of Fluxx-like games and to those who enjoy Crazy Eights but want some more strategy.”

Legends from Crazier Eights: Camelot (Updated 10/14/16)
Crazier Eights originally had four colors, each with the same thirteen cards. Crazier Eights: Camelot has fifty three different cards, each with a different ability. The cards are inspired by the world of the King Arthur stories, and it has a lot of the key elements and characters from those stories. Let’s take a closer look at some of those characters and how the ability relates to what the card represents.
