Should the player not have any card available to play, they must pick up one card. Switch is played with a regular, single deck of playing cards, or with two standard decks (shuffled into one) if there is a large number of players.Įach player at their turn may play any card from their hand that matches the suit or the rank of the card previously played for example, if the previous card was a seven of clubs, the next player may put down any seven card, or any club card, from their hand. The game is also commonly known as Jack Change It, Crazy Eights, Take Two and Peanuckle in the UK and Ireland. Switch is very similar to the games UNO, Flaps and Mau Mau, both belonging to the larger Crazy Eights or Shedding family of card games. The sole aim of Switch is to discard all of the cards in one's hand the first player to play their final card, and ergo have no cards left, wins the game.
Switch (also called Two Four Jacks or Black Jack, or Last Card in New Zealand) is a shedding-type card game for two or more players that is popular in the United Kingdom, Ireland and as alternative incarnations in other regions. Playing an 8 causes the next player to miss their turn
