Description
Sheepshead is trick-taking card game of German origin. This is a single player version with computer controlled opponents allowing you to play at any time!
This version of Sheepshead only utilizes 24 cards from the normal playing deck. Those cards are the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, and 9 from each suit.
Premise: There are no winners in Sheepshead - only losers, and they get a "Buck."
Partners: Partners are determined by whoever lays the black queens. If a player lays a black queen the other player who lays a black queen is there partner. The other two players are then also partners. If "First Trick" is called, the first player to get a trick other than the player who called it will then become their partner. We classify the partners as "Queen Partners" and "Setting Partners."
Family Order: Ace, Ten, King, Nine, respectively, for each of the remaining suits (Spades, Clubs, Hearts).
Point Values: Ace - 11 Ten - 10 King - 4 Queen - 3 Jack - 2 Nine - 0
Counting Points: Each hand will total to 120 points. If the queen partners get all 120 points, they receive 12 points. If the setting partners only get a trick during the hand, the queen partners only get 6 points. If the setting partners' tricks total greater than 30 points but less than 60 points they have a cutter, resulting in the queen partners only receiving 3 points. If the setting partners have more than 60 points worth in their tricks at the end of the hand but the queen partners have more than 30, the setting partners receive 6 points. Finally if the setting partners have more than 90 points in their tricks they receive 9 points.
Game Mechanics: The player will be given 6 cards to begin the hand. At the start of each round of each hand, the players partner is unknown. Partners in this version of Sheepshead are determined by whoever has the Black Queens. If a player has both Black Queens, the player may decide to go alone or call for First Trick. The goal of the game to get as many tricks as possible to ensure you have the most points at the end of the hand.
Going Alone: If a player decides to play alone, the three computer opponents will be partners and try to beat you at the hand. If they are able to set you, this results in an automatic buck.
First Trick: A player may call First Trick if they have both Black Queens in their hand. In this scenario, the first player to get a trick that is not yourself will become your partner.
