Rule missing[edit]

NOTE: There is a rule missing on the main page. The Ace which is wild cannot be used as the last card unless it could be naturally played (i.e on another Ace or on top of a card of the same suit as the ace). Any other time it is wild —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.123.128.114 (talk) 03:49, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Leader[edit]

(I google searched the name of the 'leader' - comes from New Zealand - not Russia. Surprise surprise. Deleted the bad edit) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.114.175.150 (talk) 12:08, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Makao[edit]

This game seems to be very similar to the Polish (?) game Makao http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makao_%28gra_karciana%29 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.206.173.186 (talk) 21:47, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence of existence[edit]

[ jmc reverted a reference added by Lord Belbury, who posted the following on jmc's Talk page: ]

You didn't give an edit summary so I don't know exactly what the problem was, but I'm guessing the source on this revert seemed too tangential, being a weather article. But it was the best I could find to confirm that the game (a) exists at all and (b) is popular in New Zealand. (I couldn't find anything to support it being popular outside of New Zealand, which is what you've reverted it to.)

Without it, the article reads a lot like a hoax or one family's house rules for Crazy Eights. (It's probably an acronym that needs to be expanded, but I can't find any evidence that the "OBT Card Games" book currently given as the only source actually exists.) --Lord Belbury (talk) 12:34, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[ jmc responded: ]

Your guess is correct, Lord Belbury. It seemed like such a highly tangential reference as to itself read like a hoax.

I've now added a much more direct and reliable reference as evidence that the game (a) exists and (b) is popular in New Zealand. On the other hand, as you say, evidence that the "OBT Card Games" book currently given as the only source actually exists is lacking. The reference to it could well be removed.

Thanks. I thought a weather site saying "It's almost part of a Kiwi Summer holiday to be stuck in a tent or caravan playing Monopoly and Last Card for several hours." in passing was useful for context, but I guess it's not that official a news website. Will see if I can find anything else. --Lord Belbury (talk) 08:44, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
