How to play 'Shithead' the cardgame

• Never played 'Shithead'?
• Need to explain this great game to another?
• Can't remember the special cards?

This video shows you all you need to know to play the most common variant: you will need:

• Between 2-5 players
• About 5-10 minutes per game
• 52 normal playing cards (no jokers)

Optionally:

• This video as reference
• Something to keep score with
• Imagination for additional rules (3's invisible, 8's ignore, 9's change direction...)

Want to play with 6? - Use the jokers (decide before what they're worth)

Want to play with up to 10? Use two packs (no jokers) and 6 cards the same on top of each other burns the pack...

Let me know how you get on, and other variants you know.

***Language teachers***

Why not get your students to crowd source a translation of this simple game?

I could change the text and make a:
• Spanish
• German
• French
• Italian
• etc...

Version.

Drop me a line to let me know if you're interested and what language you can do!

I'm playing this game with friends for some time... we burned at least 50 hours on it :)

@uqdesign It's a great game, isn't it?

Where did you learn it first? Do you have any special rules?

slow down the speed

@festafew49 I assure you, there's no shame in using the 'pause' button… besides, it's already nearly 4 minutes long, slowing it down will only rob you of more time to play the game!
