Now it might come as a shock to you guys but I’ve actually never played Crazy Eights. Me, who has four siblings, had only even heard of the game from stupid cartoons I don’t really remember (I was much more a reader than a television watcher). I played jacks, I played Uno, I even learned mahjong, but I’ve never played Crazy Eights.
Now maybe it’s just me, because I do tend to be a little bit on the competitive side, but I just have to say…I have never in my life been more geared up to win a card game. Now, I know that what I’m supposed to be doing here is telling you why you should play Crazy Eights on the Spogg website, and I’m getting to that but first I want you to know that Crazy Eights is a game that anyone can play, be you ten or thirty. It’s good, clean fun with a dose of competitiveness that will get your blood pumping and won’t leave you bored.
Now, as I mentioned, until this morning I had never played Crazy Eights. If you’ve been living under a rock (or a book) as I have, you may not know how to play it anyway. If that’s the case you are as in luck as I was. The Spogg website not only explains the way the game functions but it manages to do so while you play. This may not seem all that extravagant at first but even a game as simple as Crazy Eights can be confusing if you’ve never played and you get into a room with a bunch of hardcore players (which there are!). In addition to having clear, easy to follow instructions as to how to play, the Spogg network is also filled with chill, understanding people.
Now, if you’ve ever played a mainstream multiplayer game you know that some people can be a little less than helpful when it comes to newbies and or individuals who are young. That’s actually the reason I don’t play a certain game which I won’t mention (here’s a hint, thus: WOW, I’m so bored) and why I tend to steer clear of multiplayer games in general, but the players of Spogg Crazy Eights aren’t like that. I chatted with a few and was even given tips about how to play from some people who had been polishing their skills for years –yes, years.
More than anything, I found the atmosphere of the game relaxing and entertaining even when I was on the edge of my seat praying for someone to play a spade. Highly recommended.
