Play Sheepshead at any time. This is five handed game, with four computer controlled players. Sheepshead is a trick-taking card game; it has nothing to do with sheep. Sheepshead is played with 7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A in four suits, ...
I agree with the reviewer that said he felt the deck was stacked The same people keep getting the best hands I almost never have a decent hand and many times have only one trump If I have a few trump then my fail is sevens and eights The deals should at least favor the player a little more Thinking about looking for a more equitable game             Could be better PJ and Sluggo
I ve been playing sheepshead more than half my life and I can t say I ve EVER seen so many lopsided card distribution Funny how when it s 2 computer players paired up 1 they have the majority of the trump in 95 of the games 2 the partner just happens to have the queen of clubs 3 my partners have terrible hands 75 of the time Fun but some serious rigging of hands in favor of the computer EDIT After further games downgrading rating To many games where the computer is just GIVEN the perfect partner Computer seems to find a completely LOADED partner to often to be pure coincidence Game needs MUCH better randomization of cards Loading the computer picker s partner s hands is called cheating EDIT 2 Last time I checked rigging hands was called CHEATING Just saying     Fun but lots of stacked hands
In Jack of Diamonds partner games I am frequently wondering about why my digital partner has picked Pickers lose a phenomenal amount of the time Game shouldn t be set up to discourage picking             Play often makes no sense Rzc17
Watched the called suit go around on Called Ace without the ace being played A 10 toon the trick Player with the called ace then lead called ace didn t win the previous trick Would be nice to see the logic built out for the bots like it is for the human player Also lots of questionable plays by the opponents They should assume perfect knowledge of cards played and minimal knowledge of unplayed cards But there needs to be situational awareness If trump is lead to start a game it should be assumed to be the partner if not the person who picked Seemingly wrong cards are routinely played             Lots of quirks alonzo_71
Either you have all the trump or one 9 of diamonds You can play for 10 minutes and never see more than two trump in your hand then the next 5 minutes you and the partner have every trump in the deck Stupid     Not Realistic B from EC
Returning woodworker is correct Really bad play with constant horrible moves Player on end could have taken trick 4 with a 10spades when 9spades was high with the picker and he threw off Next trick that player threw out the 10spades Too frustrating to keep playing     Bad play betsteel
Bad news It plays like crap I would love to get in a game with whoever wrote this it would be money in my pocket Does stupid play come to mind Picker leads with a called ace and leads a queen of spades with the queen of clubs in the pickets hand DUH Clueless since the partner does not know this     Good news it does work Returning Woodworker
Great app two requests When playing tournament don t replay a hand looses track of number of game and plays forever Would be nice to reset points back to zero on normal play                     Great app FreddyKrugler
This is a great app that allows you to customize it to fit how you play Sheepshead at home The AI will sometimes do plays that will make you scratch your head but that happens in real life games all the time Overall it s the best Sheepshead app I have come across It s simple yet customizable and let s you sit back and play your favorite card game Cheers                     Great App Great Game SH33PSH3AD PLAYER
Best Sheeps game I have found of 3 I have tried Lots of options Not a fan of graphics but game play decent Computer partners do make some occasional dumb plays but better than other ones I have tried Worth downloading to get Sheeps fix                 Best I have found Badgr dude
The app is good gameplay works An issue I have is if you go back to the main menu while in the middle of a hand and come back to the game it resets the hand and you get a different set of cards                 Good free app RP857
At times it s suspiciously one sided especially if you re clever and get on a long winning streak then your so called associates play like they ve forgotten how or the opposite know exactly how to hit your weak spots All in all this game seems mostly fair and it s also free                 Not too bad corpr8angl
It worked beautifully until a few days ago Now if you change the options like go from 5 players to 4 it freezes Have tried reloading game but to no avail Arghh     You can only play the version that is downloaded JPhilipps
Simple app to play a complex card game Good AI once in awhile makes a questionable play but that happens IRL as well Enjoying playing 5 handed and 3 handed                     Fun game dmanxiii
Instead of creating a 1 star review because some of the logic needs adjusting try being grateful that someone was willing to put together a mobile app for this Yahoo clearly didn t care when they disbanded their community I ve reached out to the developer on a number of occasions regarding logic and issues were addressed in a matter of days People should try to be more helpful                     Read my review jmdd21
Update just tried playing JD 5 handed with new update 1st trick of first hand shows still troubles with the algorithm Computer player with stupidly JD trumping playing JD on a fail trick that opponents already had played JS More sense would be to trump over opponent not under or throw off one of his own fail JD made absolutely no sense Waiting for a version that actually works again Ok the app runs and allows you to play it But the latest update takes a game that used to be fun and makes it unplayable at least for 5 handed JD This is because the computer players went from making occasional questionable plays to consistently making REALLY STUPID plays For instance on a hand I just picked I won because the QC had already been played and on the 5th trick I led fail my partner played a fail then one defender played the QH and the next defender played the QS Defenders played the top 2 remaining trump on a fail trick This allowed me to take the last trick and win the hand This stupid example of play has become commonplace with this latest update And for me this type of stupid play make the game unplayable     Unplayable JoeW46167
Kudos to Derek for the killer Sheepshead app It works great and it sounds like the updates have improved it from past versions Even though the AI players are all pretty heavy Mauers you just have to adjust to that My one complaint would be that the Leaster programming could use some work When I can win Leasters with a trick of 35 points the AI definitely isn t playing too well But overall the app is great and it s a fun way to pass the time                     Well done App altarofl
Nice that you can customize the game to how you play like called ace no leasters AI isn t very smart and is easy to beat but the tournaments are fun                     Good Game Unhelped385
This is a really good sheepshead app I would give it 5 stars but AI does not know how to play properly They frequently overshoot their partners after their partner has the best card out their Also they always back into their trump which is the incorrect way to play with a partner Other than that this is the best Sheepshead app out there                 Pretty good app Ptkroeser23
This game is frustrating from a experienced players point of view Sure the computer flows the rule but it doesn t or can t follow the in written rules         Mr Rpa:-)
This game does not know how to play itself Ive played sheephead for over 20 yrs and learned from old germans Ex Im on the end as partner picker has the lead Only 3 trump left He leads trump only to come back with his fail suit instead of leading it to hope i can cut it Especially when i lead trump earlier and the others were throwing off fail Things like this a computer can not learn i guess     Rookies Sheeps-a-lot
When you partner lead 7d and the picker plays 10d and loses the trick then takes a low value trick with QH it s time to teach the programmer how to play better Nice to have a program available though             Algorithm needs work FelixDG
Not sure how a game that I play against a computer used 250 mb of data in two weeks More that Facebook and YouTube         Good game but whoa data usage Lynx4Ben
Doesn t work     Didn t work Fievel36
Plays very well just like sitting around with family without all the cussing at who made a bad play                     Great game Krw920
It s a decent app but needs work I ve had 2 hands where the picker trumped the called suit During stick the dealer I can t bury my blind It won t let me I have to close out and reopen the app Gameplay is pretty good AI needs work I wish there was a way to move your cards around in your hand Sometimes I play the wrong card on accident because my fingers are large It would be nice to be able to change the selection of a card before playing it                     Don t bother Toohott24
well worth it                     Nice banjosteve
This game zaps battery life and needs changes to the AI         Good start needs refining bbcgdavis
This game seens flawless and fair but after many games I caught it failing suits and or trump only to catch you off guard if you were paying attention I am a competitor and like a challenge but failing suits and or trump that is a major game changer              Great but
