Crazy Eights
Verdict
The player who goes out scores the cards left in every other hand: Each eight: 50 points; Face cards (K, Q, J): 10 points; Aces: 1 point
Why people argue about this
People often assume that if they go out in a hand with no eights, they don't score anything for that hand, which is incorrect. Actually, they still get 1 point per ace left in the other players' hands as specified by Section 5, even if there are no eights to count.
Send this to your friend — argument over.
The player who goes out scores the cards left in every other hand:
Play to an agreed target — commonly 100 points per player in the game, so 500 for five.
Casual play often skips scoring entirely and treats each hand as its own game.
