Sheepshead review
After years of my brother asking me to play Sheepshead with him, I finally relented and learned how. It is a trick-taking game designed for either three or five players. In the three player version, one player is pitted against the other two to get more than half of the available points. The five-player version sets one person and a random partner against the other three.
An overview of the rules is listed here at Wikipedia.
I tried out the three player version. It seemed very difficult for the one player to win against the other two, but I did manage it once with an amazingly lucky hand. All in all I liked the game and the potential that it has to get better at it. There are obviously some strategies that I need to learn to get better.
