Crazy Eights (4.5/5 stars, currently FREE and currently comes bundled with a $1 Amazon MP3 Store credit) – From Amazon:
Crazy Eights is a popular card game played all over the world in different variations. The object of the game is to get rid of the cards in your hand by playing them on the discard pile, where either the face or the suit of the card you play must match the face or the suit of the top-most card on the discard pile.
You must take a card from the stock pile if you cannot play a legal card or if you do not want to play a card. Some action cards have special meanings. Any eight can be used to change the current suit (hence the name: Crazy Eights); When a two is played the next player must take 2 cards and must skip a turn; When a queen is played the next player must skip a turn; When an ace is played the direction of play changes; When a joker is played the next player must take 5 cards but is allowed to play again.
