Solitaire-Crazy Eights Rules.
In Solitaire-Crazy Eights, most rules do not change, but the way cards can be played is drawn from the card game Solitare.
The game starts out like the Canadian variation, but there are some specific rules that make the version unique.
- If a player has a partial suit of cards, he or she can play all of that partial suit if the cards are in order. It does not matter what the starting card is, as long as it does not violate the rule.
- A player can also play four cards that are of all four suits and are all the same number, but can only do this if he or she has all four cards.
- A player can only use the first two rules if it will not immediately result in he or she winning the hand.
- A player can decide to pass on a turn if he or she has drawn five or more cards that are of no use to that player.
