How does Crazy 8 work?

Crazy Eights is a shedding-type card game where players match the top card of the discard pile by rank or suit, with Eights acting as wild cards to change the suit, and the first player to empty their hand wins the round, often playing to a set score or number of rounds. If unable to play, you draw until you can, or until you've drawn a set number (like 3 or 5), then pass; Eights let you declare the next suit, and you win by getting rid of all your cards.
