''Blazing 8s'' is a CardGame created by Creator/{{Discord}} which can be accessed from the app's "Activities" menu within voice chat.
The game is based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Eights Crazy Eights]], and in particular is heavily inspired by ''TabletopGame/{{Uno}}''. Thus, many of the tropes that apply there also apply here.

!!''Blazing 8s'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* AdaptationAmalgamation: The use of 8 as a LiteralWildCard is borrowed from Crazy Eights, while most of the other special cards are borrowed from ''Uno''. The appearance of the cards also combines the color-coding of ''Uno'' with the [[PlayingCardMotifs motifs of a standard 52-card deck]].
* AdaptationDeviation: The "Draw Two" and "Wild Draw Four" cards from ''Uno'' have been replaced with "Quick Draw" which, instead of adding to a single player's hand, adds a single card each to ''all'' opponents' hands.
* AdaptationDistillation: The points system that is part of the usual Crazy Eights ruleset (and, for a long time, the official ''Uno'' ruleset) has been omitted, with each game only lasting a single round.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: There's a button in the bottom right to sort the cards in your hand by color.
* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: Although the Activity itself allows up to eight Discord users to join, only five can actually play the game at a time.
* CallAHitPointASmeerp: To go with the game's [[TheWildWest Wild West]] theme, the skip player card has been renamed to "Giddy Up", while another card is named "QuickDraw".
* MidfightWeaponExchange: Oscar's Swap Card, when played, switches a player's hand with that of the person next to them.
* PlayingCardMotifs:
** The 1 card instead has an "A" on it, for "ace".[[note]]though this is also partially to avoid confusion with the "+1" Quick Draw card[[/note]] The Giddy Up, Wrong Way, and Quick Draw cards have a "J", "Q", and "K" on them respectively, standing for "jack", "queen", and "king".
** To help colorblind players, each color also has a suit symbol associated with it which appears on the card. Red is hearts (♥), yellow is diamonds (♦), green is clubs (♣), and blue is spades (♠).
* TimedMission: Each player has 30 seconds to make a move, or otherwise a card will be added to their hand as a penalty.
* TheWildWest: Both of the game's background options are desert-themed, with one of them featuring a saloon. Some of the special cards have also been given [[CallAHitPointASmeerp Wild West-themed names]].
