Take Two

[dumber]

Hi, has anyone heard of the card game Take Two? Or its real name for that fact?

I have known how to play this game all of my life and it seems there is a few differations on the rules.

Does anyone know a website with the full list of rules?

Heres how I know how to play it.

Each player starts with 7 cards.


Power cards.
The 2 - Makes the next player take two cards from the deck and play passes to the next player unless they have a two in their hand then they can pass it on to someone else.
The 8 - Everyone I have played with seems to agree that an 8 has to be placed with the same suit, it makes the next player miss a go, however not many agree that you can pass this on if you have your own 8.
The Jack - Can be arugable if it can be put down anytime or with the same suit. Either way you can change to whatever suit you want it to.
The Ace - Can also be aruged if it can go down anytime, this card changes the direction of play, however not many people play this rule and play it as a normal card.


The Joker - Is normally used when playing a two or three deck version. Red joker makes the next player take 10 cards from the deck(s), whereas the black Joker makes the next player take 15, although it can be passed on with another Joker or a 2.



So does anyone else know of any other rules or ways of playing this age old game??


Cheers.

I call this Switch - something to do with changing suits if you put a 7 down? Its very similar to Uno.

It sounds like a variation of "crazy eights". If you Google it, you will find this (amongst other things): Variations
Crazy Eights is one of the easiest games to elaborate by adding variations, and is rarely played in its basic form. There are variations in the number of cards dealt, the rules about drawing cards and the scoring system. Usually, special meanings are given to particular cards; when played these cards affect the sequence of play, or have other effects.
