Sheet Head: The Card Game

Support & how to play

Sheet Head is the card game known around the world as Shithead, Palace, Karma or Shed. Getting rid of your cards is only half the job — the other half is making sure everybody else gets stuck with theirs.

How to play

You start with three cards in hand, three face up on the table, and three face down that you will not see until the very end. Play a card equal to or higher than the pile. If you can't play, you pick up the whole pile. Empty your hand, then your face-ups, then flip your face-downs blind.

Aces are high. Six cards change everything:

• 2 — resets the pile. Play it on anything.
• 3 — see-through. Whatever sits underneath is what counts.
• 7 — the next player has to go under it.
• 8 — skip. The player after you loses their turn.
• 10 — burns the pile. It's gone, and you go again.
• Four of a kind — a bomb. Same result as a 10.

Common questions

How do I play a card?

One tap. Long-press to play every card of that rank at once. Dimmed cards can't legally be played.

Why can't I drop four 4s on a King?

A bomb still has to be a legal play first. Four of a kind clears the pile, but only if that rank could have been played on its own.

Does a 7 reverse the turn order?

No. A 7 forces the next player to play under it. Nothing in this game reverses turn order.

The game didn't end when someone went out.

That's correct. Everyone plays to a finish and is ranked 1st through 4th. The last player still holding cards is the Sheet Head.

Does it work offline?

Yes, completely. There is nothing to sign in to and nothing to buy.
