Crazy 8 Poker Tournaments
OBJECTIVE: The goal is to be the first player to get rid of all your cards.
NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2-7 players NUMBER OF CARDS: 52 deck cards for 5 or less players and 104 cards for more than 5 players RANK OF CARDS: 8 (50 points); K, Q, J (court cards 10 points); A (1 point); 10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (no jokers). Currently PokerStars and Full Tilt are the only online poker sites that offer 8-Game. Tournament fields are, of course, not as big as they are in Hold'em and Omaha but are still reasonably big compared to other smaller poker games - probably because 8-Game is really fun with a lot of action. 8-Game is a mixed game with 6 players at the table.

The rest of the deck is placed in the center and the top card of the deck is flipped over for all players to see. If an eight is flipped over, randomly place it back inside the deck and turn over another card.
How to play:Crazy Eights Poker TournamentThe player to the left of the dealer goes first. They have the option of either drawing a card or playing a card on top of the discard pile. To play a card, the card played must either match the suit or the rank of the card shown on the discard pile. If you don't have a card that can be played, then you must draw one from the pile. Once a player has either drawn from the pile or discarded, it then becomes the next players turn.

Eights are wild. When a player plays an eight, they get to state the suit that gets played next. For example, you play an eight, you can state hearts as the next suit, and the player after you must play a heart.
