D.I.Y: Perfect Playing Cards!

Materials: discarded attaya boxes and other scraps of cardboard

Step 1: Tear the discarded attaya boxes and other scraps of cardboard into vaguely rectangular pieces of roughly the same size. The number of cards you create does not matter (even ten are fine) and will depend on how many attaya boxes and cardboard pieces you can find.

Done!

Here's how to play (you will need a basic understanding of Crazy Eights):

Deal your Perfect Playing Cards so that each player has roughly the same number of cards. Leave a stack of cards undealt to be the draw pile. Flip the first card of the draw pile over and place it next to the draw pile. All subsequent cards will be played on top of this one. When it is your turn to play, select a card from your hand and add it to the pile-next-to-the-draw-pile. You do not need to specify which card you are playing unless you want it to be a 2 (draw two), 8 (change), 10 (back), jack (jump) or joker (bomb). Play continues until one player runs out of cards--this player is the winner. For more challenging play, you may want to decide that you are unable to play any of the cards in your hand. You will then need to add a card from the draw pile to your hand. You will almost certainly lose.
