What is Sheepshead?
Sheepshead is a classic trick-taking card game brought to America by German immigrants in the 1800s. It's most popular in Wisconsin, where it was declared Milwaukee's official card game in 1983.
The game features a unique trump system (Queens, Jacks, and Diamonds are all trump), secret partnerships via the "called ace" system, and strategic depth that keeps players coming back for generations.
