classic cards

Smarties® Classic Cards are a fun and playful twist on a pack of playing cards.

Our unique characters and suits allow you to play all your family favourite card games and learn some new ones on your holiday! Here are two games to get you started:

  • The War Game

    Each player turns up a card at the same time and the player with the higher card takes both cards and puts them, face down, on the bottom of his stack.

    If the cards are the same rank, it is War.

    Each player turns up one card face down and one card face up. The player with the higher cards takes both piles (six cards).

  • Crazy 8's

    Deal 5 cards to each player. Place the remaining cards in a stack at the centre, and flip over the top card to create a face-up card pile.

    Each player takes a turn to play either the same suit or same number on top of the face-up card - or an 8. An 8 can be played on any card, and the player playing it chooses what suit the next player has to play.

    The first player to get rid of all their cards wins.
