This Sheepshead card game app lets you play five, four, or three-handed games against computer opponents anytime. It's a single-player version of the classic trick-taking card game Sheepshead, played with a 32-card deck (7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A in four suits).
Game Features
- Multiple Player Modes: Supports five, four, and three-handed gameplay.
- Tournaments: Compete in ten-hand tournaments to achieve the highest score and claim victory.
- Partner Variations: Choose from various partner options, including Called Ace partner (allowing calls of unknown cards, 10s, or going alone), Jack of Diamonds, and the option to call up the next Jack (enabled by default, but disableable in the options menu). Note that in three and four-handed games, the picker has no partner.
- Four All-Pass Scoring Styles: Select from several scoring options when all players pass: Leasters (play as a leaster), Doublers (double points in the next hand), Showdowns (lowest score wins based on trump cards in hand; Q=3, J=2, Others=1 point), or No Selection (dealer is forced to pick).
- Scoring Options: Choose between "Double on the bump" (default) and "Single on the bump" scoring.
- Knocking: Enable or disable the knocking (rapping or cracking) option in the settings menu.
- Statistics Tracking: Monitor your game statistics, including games won, tricks taken, and times picked.
- Google Games Integration: Compete on leaderboards ("High Score") and unlock achievements based on your score and tricks taken. Disable automated Google Games sign-in in the App Settings menu.
- Large Print Cards: An option for players who prefer larger, easier-to-see cards.
- Rules Overview: Access Sheepshead rules via the in-app support page or online at http://goo.gl/CyHaZR.
Double Tap to Play Cards
Double-tapping to play cards is supported (must be enabled in the options menu). Tapping a card once selects it; tapping again plays it. This allows you to change your selection if you make a mistake.
Developer Note
