Works with TalkBack

A hint lighting up the queen of hearts, with the words "Play the queen of hearts: hearts is the suit you hold most. Keep your eight for when you're stuck." above the hand

A game of Sunroom Eights on the tomato-red Parlour table, with Rose, Arthur and Priya at the top, the 4 of hearts on the pile and seven big cards in your hand, three of them outlined in gold

Why it’s different

Crazy Eights you can play by ear

Play by ear

Every card and button has a plain name for TalkBack, and every turn is announced. With TalkBack off, turn on Speak and the game reads everything aloud itself, at the speed you choose. The other players wait until the last turn has been said.

Never anything to remember

On your turn it tells you the top card and exactly which cards you can play. "Say it again", "Who's got what" and "Your hand" tell you where things stand whenever you ask.

Big, clear cards

Huge corner numbers in a typeface made for low vision, the cards you can play first with a thick outline, and a small sun on every eight so you know it's wild. Three looks, Large or Extra large cards and four-colour suits.

Friendly, fair players

Rose, Arthur and Priya play at Easy, Normal or Sharp. They never see your cards, and every shuffle is fair. Today's deal gives everyone the same cards.

See it

Three looks, two card sizes

The "Call a suit" choice after playing an eight, four big buttons for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds, each saying how many of that suit you have — **Eights are wild**Choose the suit, with how many of each you hold.

The Night look, white cards on black with yellow highlights, after Rose has played a 2 and you can answer with the 2 of diamonds or pick up two — **Night**White cards on black for the strongest contrast.

The first-launch question "Would you like Sunroom Eights to talk?" with big Yes and No buttons — **It can talk**With TalkBack off, it reads every turn aloud if you like.

The end of a round, a yellow sun above "You won the round!", Rose saying "Well done, love." and the rounds won by each player — **You won the round**The score so far, and a word from the table.

How it plays

Sunroom Eights is Crazy Eights, the classic card game, made to be played by ear as well as by eye. Match the top card's suit or number, play an eight to choose a new suit, and be the first to empty your hand. You play against Rose, Arthur and Priya, friendly people who never see your cards.

It works with TalkBack: every card and button has a plain name, and every turn is announced, from "Arthur plays the jack of clubs. Rose misses a turn." to "Priya has one card left!" With TalkBack off, turn on Speak and the game reads everything aloud itself, a little slower than usual unless you choose otherwise. On your turn it tells you the top card and exactly which cards you can play, so there's never anything to remember.

The cards are big, with huge corner numbers, and the ones you can play come first with a thick outline. There are three looks to choose from: tomato-red Parlour, light Daylight for a bright room, and black-and-white Night for the strongest contrast. And there's a deal of the day, the same cards for everyone.

Tips

How to play well

Keep your eights
An eight goes on anything, so it's your way out when nothing else fits. Play your other cards first if you can.
Play the suit you hold most
Leaving a suit on top that you have plenty of means you're more likely to have a card to play next time.
Watch who's nearly out
When the next player is down to one or two cards, a jack makes them miss a turn and a 2 makes them pick up two.
Not sure? Ask
Tap Hint and the game says which card it would play, and why.

Questions

Asked and answered

Is Sunroom Eights free? Are there ads?

Yes, it's free to play in your browser. There are never ads during a game and no banners. Your first ten games have no ads at all; after that an ad may appear between games, at most once every ten games and never twice within five minutes. Three hints in each round are free; after that, a hint asks if you'd like to watch a short ad for another, and you can always say no.

Can I play it without looking at the screen?

Yes. It works with TalkBack, and with TalkBack off it can read itself aloud (turn on Speak in Settings). Every turn is announced, and the game tells you which cards you can play.

What are lively cards?

House rules that make the game livelier, on unless you switch them off. A 2 makes the next player pick up two unless they play a 2 too, a jack makes the next player miss a turn, and an ace turns play the other way. Off, it's classic Crazy Eights.

Do the other players cheat?

No. They decide only from their own cards and what anyone at the table could see, and every shuffle is fair.

Will I lose my game if I leave?

No. Your game is saved after every card, so you can close the page or take a call and carry on later.
