Standard Tabletop Directives:
- Both you and the AI start with a hand of 7 cards. A starter card is flipped onto the discard pile.
- Play a card that matches either the suit (Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs) or rank (2–A) of the top card.
- Eights are completely wild: play an 8 at any moment and declare the active suit of your choice.
- Twos force the rival to draw 2 penalty cards, and Jacks skip the opponent’s turn entirely. First to shed all cards wins.
💡 Master Tip: Save your wild Eights for when you have no other legal cards or when you want to shift into your strongest suit.
