Crazy 8s
This year I want to try and dedicate Saturdays to things that we are loving, what’s inspiring us and great ideas. To kick it off, the card game I am playing over and over at the moment …
CRAZY EIGHTS
We got a special set of cards to play this game for Christmas, but you can play with any deck of cards.
These are the instructions from Family Fun.
It is a simple version of Uno.
In our (more beginner version) we play with 5 cards in each hand (and my 5 y.o. is struggling to manage that many in his hand). Our deck also has only 40 cards. So, you could simplify the game by taking the picture cards out of a normal deck of cards.
What I especially like about this game, from a parent’s point of view is that each round is quick, taking probably less than 5 minutes. This is unlike some of B’s other favourites – War or Snap – which can take much (much much much) longer.
