Switch (card Game)

Switch (card Game)

Switch, also called Two Four Jacks, Black Jack or Irish Switch, is a shedding-type card game for two or more players that is popular in the United Kingdom, and as alternative incarnations in other regions. The sole aim of Switch is to discard all of the cards in one's hand; the first player to play his final card, and ergo have no cards left, wins the game. Switch is very similar to the games UNO, Flaps Card Game and Mau Mau, both belonging to the larger Crazy Eights or Shedding family of card games.

The game is also commonly known as Jack Changes, Crazy Eights, Take Two and Peanuckle in the UK and Ireland.
