Our daughter learned to play Crazy Eights last night. She even won two of the three games we played.
But she needed help.
She didn’t get the concept of matching, and strategy? She called out random suits when she played her Crazy Eight.
Today, she and my wife played a few more games, and my wife already saw marked improvement.
She knew which cards to play without prompting. She knew that when she played her Eight, it would be best to call a suit she had multiple cards for. She even held onto her Eight until late in the game.
Crazy Eights is a simple game, but it was good to hear that my daughter was learning how to play it more skillfully that quickly.
Now if we can just work on her magnanimity in victory and defeat…
