The story behind the cards
A familiar game, with its own character.
Afro Eights brings an African-themed deck to Crazy Eights: expressive court cards, recognisable suits, and plenty of chances to turn a round around.
From the deck to the screen
The cards are part of the game’s story.
Early coverage of Afro Eights introduced the game that Rob Maweni and Bantu Vision were developing. In September 2019, Techzim’s hands-on review highlighted its African card designs and a version of Crazy Eights familiar to the reviewer.
That visual character continues in the browser game: the original illustrated cards, gold details and table artwork sit alongside solo play, shared-device games and private online rooms.
