The rules
- The first player with no cards left wins the round and gets 50 points.
- You can draw from the deck on your turn, then play a card or pass.
- After an 8, match the suit its player picked, not the 8 itself.
- Deal again starts a new round for the same table.
Tips to win
- Save your 8s for when you are stuck. They are your only way out of a bad hand.
- Play the suit you hold the most of, so you keep having moves.
- Watch how many cards the others hold. When someone is down to one, change the suit with an 8.
