How to Play Shithead (the card game)

!BTW take this sub and like it!

I learnt this game acctually not knowing the name so imagine my suprise when I learn its called shithead. Also when I learnt it 7 was also a wild card! It basically skipped your turn and the next player had to beat or match the card under the 7.

I've previously played this in the form of "Ghooost" from Richard Garfield and Iello games. Same game, new face. Both are fun! Thanks!

Me and my friends play this with multiple decks of cards. We increase the face downs to 5/6.

We also play elimination with just one face down each.

There's Horde where up to 10 decks are played. You each have 10 facedowns and are able to reserve up to 4 cards from play, which would in turn reduce the hand to 6. The played reserve would count to reduce your overall hand health so playing would it is consequential.

Lastly is Boss mode. One person is dealt 10 face downs whilst the rest have 3. The winner is determined by who survived the longest.

All can also be played with transparent 3, lower then 7, miss a go 8 and high Jokers. Jokers only need 2 played to cancel the pile out and transparent 3 can be placed as as a set but can't be used to cancel. Eg 9,9,9,3. 9,3,9,3.

Interesting.

Every version I played had the following wild cards.

2 – restarts the deck
3 – invisible (see through)
7 – must play lower or same as 7
10 – burn the deck

Some houses play 8 miss a go.

Been playing for years, still don’t know the origin. I think switzerland. Really fun tho

I thought 5’s were transparent and aces were the highest ?. Might be wrong haven’t played this game for over 20 years 😂

One doubt, which is the highest card ace or king ,

In engineering school we call it "engineer" because everyone plays it, also we have a rule that you can use a 5 anywhere, but the catch is that the next person will lose a turn, so for example in a game of three people let's say you're Person B, and Person A throws an ace card and you're next, but you don't have an ace, a 10 or a 2 but you have a 5, so you throw it. That means that Person C loses one turn and then it's Person A's turn, so what next? Well, he now has to put a card higher than ace, equal or a special card (2,5,10) because even tho 5 was the last card thrown, it doesn't count as a number.

Another example to understand how a 5 works:

Person A: 3
Person B: 6
Person C: 9
Person A: Q
Person B: 5
Person C: Doesn't have a turn beacuse person B threw a 5
Person A: K (He need to continue as if there were still a queen there, ignoring the "5")
