Card games
Switch
Aces change suit, twos pick up
Switch is how Britain plays Crazy Eights: aces change the suit, a 2 makes the next player pick up two and a black jack five, 8s skip and kings reverse. Stack pick-ups on top of each other, call “Last card!” in time, and be the first with an empty hand.
