Sheepshead (Schafkopf) is a popular family and community card game. Although the
basics can be learned quickly, it has a number of subtleties which give it the
ability to hold the interest of players over a long period of time.
The rich history of this game has produced a number of local variations, but the
basic outlines have been standardized by the German Schafkopf Association. These
and the US-rules from the National Sheepshead Association form the basis of this
program which implements a four-player version of the game.
* The computer simulates three players each with selectable playing
styles.
Sound, personal game statistics, and assorted card types add variety.
Comprehensive explanations of the rules, playing strategy suggestions,
and a training mode are available for beginners.
The program simulates 3 players each of whom can be given one of four
playing styles. Sounds include 6 voices (3 male and 3 female). Play
ratings, assorted card faces, contextual help and rules for beginners are
a
standard part of the program. Variations include practice mode, bock
rounds, and twelve different solo types.
Schafkopf/Sheepshead-Version V1.1 includes the following improvements
since
V1.0:
- You can display a large card table as your playing surface.
- Bock rounds and "wenzels" are now available as part of play.

- Support for Macs without disk drives (e.g., iMac). Disk 1 is no

example, the play of your cards with a single mouse click. You can
