Crazy Eights

About the game

This game is based on an example from the book Android Game Programming for Dummies that I made while reading the book and then improved a bit. The graphics will probably not work very well on low res devices (less than 480x800) but unless there is a huge demand for a low-res optimized deck then I will likely not address that problem.

Get it from Google Play.

Rules

• • Each player gets 7 cards.

  • Card to be played must match rank or suit (unless it's an eight)

  • An eight can always be played and the player is allowed to choose a new suit.

  • When no card can be played the player must draw cards until a playable card is drawn.

  • The first player with an empty hand wins the hand and the winning score is calculated from the hand of the player that loses.

  • The game ends when a player reaches 300 points.
