Remember that these cards can be used for many familiar card games. You can
use your imagination to come up with more!
As in the regular game of "Crazy 8's", your goal is to discard all cards from
your hand, by matching suit or number. In this version, you can match suit (3
colored suits of red, blue or green), or match notes (G to G, or B to B - in either clef),
with Middle C being wild (to change suit).
There are also some special action cards included :
- A repeat sign allows the player to play another card of the same suit.
- A rest sign skips the next player, and that person must remain totally quiet (a rest
indicates silence) or draw 2 cards.
- A triplet card makes the next player draw 3 cards, unless that person has a triplet of
his own to play.
- There's even a "Musical Chair Card" which has everyone put down their cards
and move to the left one seat.
