Two Gun Pixie have a live play video of Crazier Eights: Camelot here, and they have a review of the game as well. The reviewers ultimately liked the game and the expansions I sent them, which will be stretch goals. The game was rated as 3 Pixies (Will Play Again).
They said the mechanics seemed similar to the take that type of mechanic (which harm the strength of others) without being one. I do think there is some take that type of mechanic involved, but I suspect they want to emphasize that the take that type of cards did not tend to spin out of control or become a “win more” type of problem. They were not overly impressed with the packaging quality, and I will look into my options for that. They enjoyed the art, theme, and point out how easy the game is to understand. They also said, “Even more experienced and hard core tabletop gamers should enjoy this well-themed update to Crazy Eights as it makes a fun filler game to play while waiting for those few players to show up for game night.”
The reviewers also enjoyed both expansions I sent (Valley of the Nile and Eternity), and said they are a must have.

I discussed how I worked on games similar to Crazier Eights for about ten years before I published it as my first official game here. The version of the game I had at that time did not end up being the final version either. Additionally, there also was a lot of playtesting and changes to the game that were not discussed just over that year, and it has continued over the last couple of years. The newest version of the game Crazier Eights: Camelot is based on a version of the game I developed in 2013, and I have been working on it for a few years. There were five main versions of what ended up as Crazier Eights: Camelot, which I will discuss here. Continue reading

Two Gun Pixie has tried Crazier Eights: Camelot and posted the video to their Facebook page. They enjoyed the game and recommend it as a gateway game. Go here to take a look (or see the video below).
Crazier Eights: Camelot will have a Kickstarter campaign this October.
I am working on new versions of Crazier Eights in addition to expansions. New versions include at least fifty two unique cards, and new expansions include fifteen unique cards. Part of the appeal of Crazier Eights is the wide range of themes that can be used, similar to Fluxx, which is a good excuse for having new versions and expansions with strong themes. The next version will be Crazier Eights: Camelot, but there’s more versions I am also working on. Let’s take a look. Continue reading
