Switch (also called Two Four Jacks or Black Jack,[1] or Last Card in New Zealand) is a shedding-type card game for two or more players that is popular in the United Kingdom, Ireland and as alternative incarnations in other regions. The sole aim of Switch is to discard all of the cards in one's hand; the first player to play their final card, and ergo have no cards left, wins the game. Switch is very similar to the games Crazy Eights, UNO, Flaps, Mau Mau or Whot! belonging to the Shedding family of card games.[1]
The game is also commonly known as Jack Change It, Crazy Eights, Take Two and Peanuckle[citation needed] in the UK and Ireland.
