How about a game of “Crazy 8s?”

Card games are a great way to improve your client’s sense of well-being.  How about a game of “Crazy 8s?”

1.       Deal five cards to each player.  

2.       Place remaining cards face down, turning the top card face up to create the discard pile. 

3.       Take turns discarding by matching the rank or suit of the top card in the discard pile.

4.       If you are unable to match the rank or suit and do not have an eight, draw cards from the stockpile until you can play.

5.       When a player discards an eight, she must declare the suit the next player will play and that player must play the named suit or an eight. 

The first player to discard all of her cards wins, and other players score penalty points according to the cards remaining in their hands.  Meaningful conversation while playing will boost your client’s outlook.
