A classic shedding-card family
What is Crazy8?
Crazy Eights is part of the shedding-game tradition: players match the current card and race to empty their hands. Printed references to the game became common during the twentieth century, though many household variations developed.
Nadda uses four bright colors, action cards, draw stacking, and wild eights to create a readable, fast-moving version built for two players.
- Classic shedding gameplay

Choose a new color
Wild cards let you select the next active color. Choose the color that best fits the cards left in your hand.
Empty your hand
The first player to play every card wins. If you cannot make a legal move, draw from the deck.
