Rules:

To win the game, the player must get rid of all of the cards in his hand by matching them with the suit or the rank of the top card in the discard pile. If a player is unable to match the rank or the suit, the player draws a card from the stockpile and the turn passes to the opponent.

Special cards:

- Eights: Playing an eight means the player declares the suit that the opponent must play. The opponent must then follow the named suit or play another eight.

- Aces: Playing an ace means skip the opponent's turn.
