Crazy Eights Take Two

Based on Crazy Eights.

Like traditional Crazy Eights but with a twist – when an eight card is played, opposing players must draw 2 cards each from the draw pile and add them to their hands.

Cards played – 52 cards, no Jokers

Scoring – First player to eliminate all cards in their hand wins.
