Sheepshead, THE Gam‪e‬13

Pit your sheepshead skills against One Eye Jack, Crack Meister, Ace No Face and Queen Betsy. Sheepshead, THE Game is a fun, challenging and easy to use Sheepshead card game in which you play against four computerized players. The game supports Called Ace or Jack of Diamonds as partner. Blitzing and cracking adds to the excitement.

Tap a card to play or discard the card. The game plays only in portrait mode for phones and only in landscape mode for tablets.

If you own a Windows pc, you can download the game on to your pc and play the game for 7 days free. The windows version of the game uses the same card playing logic engine as the IOS version of the game. This will give you a good feeling as to how well the game plays the cards. However, not all features in the Windows PC version are in the IOS version. See the developers website link for more information.

I made numerous changes to improve the card playing logic. I corrected a few issue that caused the game to unexpectedly close.
