7-27-06

Today I played Sheepshead for the first time. It's a fairly entertaining card game for five people. I don't know if I'd call it "The best card game on the face of the Earth," but then again, there isn't a whole lot else you can do with five people and a deck of cards.

In Sheepshead, as in other card games of German origin, tens are higher than kings. We just cheated and valued the king and ten normally. Not to offend the Germans out there or anything, but -- that's really stupid.
