Sheepshead

Computer players are horrible players. Do not lead Trump to picker. Players do not take tricks when possible. All Queens are held to last trick. Defense does not smear tricks or play as a team. Just absolutely horrible as far as strategy. Would not recommend even for beginners.

I would say the game is pretty spot on and perfect to keep your knowledge of the game going. If multiplayer were a thing id give it 5 stars. Id even pay for tgat feature. Just saying.

I learned how to play from da barz in Wausau, Wisconsin. It's a great game to get faded drunk to and have a good time with friends. We always play Sheepshead at da deer camp. 5 stars don't cha know.

very good with a couple of significant flaws. often locks up on last hand of leaster. scoring is off, eventually winnings less losings dont = zero.

Doesn't even follow the most basic of SH rules. Picker can NEVER win on a called ace trick. Picker MUST play their fail called suit. Picker can NEVER play an up trump to take the trick. But I just saw the AI picker do that on the first two hands I ever played here! Uninstalling...

Great for beginners but would like the option to save the current game. I hated having to restart the game when I was gone for only a few minutes.

Players don't play the way you would in a real game. Actually quite sad the way the computer plays most hands. It's borderline pointless. Ulf is a mauering son of a birch too.

Love the game but this one locks up. I've uninstalled and reloaded and done the tricks of the trade but it still locks up.

I'm pretty happy with the game. The called ace is different than what I'm used to. We play you have to call an ace of a suit in your hand, if that suit is led you have play that ace, and it can never be ace of diamonds. This game allows you to choose whatever ace you want and you don't have to play it as the lead. Nbd... But the bigger issue I have is that the game keeps freezing on me. I often have to kill it in the middle of a hand, so that's annoying. It would also be nice to raise or lower the skill.

One down fall it resets. So if your up more then 17 you could end up starting back at 10. Game cheats. Doesn't like you winning ;)

Called Ace gets trumped by the Picker! Called suit is played & the ace doesn't show up! Ace of diamonds is the called Ace! WHAT??? Get this game fixed by a true Wisconsin Sheepshead player.

Alright time to blast a free app. The AI act the exact same way each hand. Some examples are holding on to their highest trump until the end, not overtaking someone else when they can (i.e. "oh, they trumped it, I give up you can have it) even for a 30 point trick, not smearing your partners when teams are known and the trick is yours, and ALWAYS picking with the queen of clubs and sometimes nothing else. The AI acts in ways that would get you kicked out of a game anywhere else, but our options are limited.

Used to be really good, but in the last two weeks it locks up after playing for a few minutes. Hope they can fix it.

Get part way through games and it just stops. Have to force stop .Fix the leester problem!

I have no idea where program learned the game because the way the computer play I would never be aloud to play that way also dislike the way it changes partner rules on its own

Neat layout and scoring. Gets stuck and hangs sometimes.

As others have pointed out, the called Ace rules here are screwy. AI need to keep at least one of the fail suit they are calling. And the ace must be played on the first trick when the called suit is lead. Strategy hinges upon this! That said the game plays well when it gets the rules right. Given that people have been reporting the rule problem since 2014 I'd recommend finding a different app.

I mean, they aren't as good as a lot of people that I play with, but they know the game, somewhat.

The game isn't very realistic. The players don't play as they should abs don't smear when they should or use trump properly.

Played call an ace. The picker some how called the ace of DIAMONDS. Players do not follow suit. Jack of diamonds style is serviceable, but poorly played. Don't waste your time with this app.

I do love this game and for the most part it's really good love that it is Wisconsin rules as I grew up playing this game. But it freezes up so much and right in the middle if a hand. Please fix!

best sheapshead game out there fer android

Thank you! Nice job on the AI on this. I would say the computer makes smart moves 95% of the time making the game more fun to play. Great work!

Wish we could play real people on it

Very nice game but the players don't trump or smear as well as real experienced players. I'm guessing the programmer is from southeastern Wisconsin as diamonds are trump and not clubs as most play in central Wisconsin. Very nice, THANK YOU!

No going alone? No summary of hands, called. ace not played when suit led. No leaster point totals

The ace of the called suit must be played when the called suit is led. Ace of diamonds is not an option. There are some other things during play that seem strange. I do not write code for apps, so I have no idea how to fix it, but on a number of occasions, it seems the logic of taking tricks is lost and hands are lost or won based on the logic of taking the tricks... The game is OK, but there is definitely room for improvement...

I just scored 64 points, the problem is I lost to the other team which scored 67 points. 64+67= 131 last time I checked, which is more than the supposed 120 possible points.

Great for learning the basics, but terrible for any strategy playing.

I grew up playing the game. I was taught at age 6. Im now in my late 40s. Call the ace needs to be fixed. The ace must be played when call suit is lead the first time and the ace of diamonds would never be an options. Also would be interested in a 4 and 3 handed options for playing

Have played this for quite some time now and really enjoy it. I have programmed in the past so I know how difficult it can be to get all the nuances (AI) of the program right. I can tell that a lot of time has been spent to get this app to the level that it is at, regardless of AI. And NO ads (awesome). Thanks for you efforts. The one thing I would look at is periodically the picker will have the Jack o' Diamonds and someone else will be be called as the partner. Thanks again for your hard work.

Its a decent game but the ai players do some dumb plays.the pick the ace feature is horrible tho, they dont follow the rules at all! Over all its fun 2 play tho

Good game. Bad programing. It has serious problems that keep getting worse.

If picker has Jack of diamonds without forced pick it makes person next to them partner, ai doesn't play correctly they hold onto trump until end instead of taking the trick, picker and partner are always loaded with trump especially with blitzers, needs big improvement.

Great for beginners but would like the option to save the current game. I hated having to restart the game when I was gone for only a few minutes.

AI isn't all that spectacular but it is a fun game to kill time!

Get part way through games and it just stops. Have to force stop .

The interface is great. It's missing some common Wisconsin rules, such as double-on-the-bump (aka punish the picker). Also no option for doubles instead of leaster? Do you have plans for online play? That would be amazing.

Computer play is highly questionable. I had JD and picked but ended up with a partner. Would give 1 star but it's nice to play sheepshead again. Screw you Yahoo! For removing game and replacing with arcade crap.

The called suit cannot be trumped by the picker. Must have a card of that suit in hand. It's been years since I played regularly, but I habw to agree with others that if the computer players were amongst the people I knew, they would be hetting a neer dumped on their head.
