S**t Head

1

Choose your game and drink

Enter your name in Play solo to face three computer players, or use Play online to create or join a room with up to four people. The host shares the invite link and starts when everyone has joined. Your hand is always at the bottom. Tap your drink/coaster during setup to choose your drink. Venue, scores and other settings are in Menu.

2

Set your table

You start with 3 face-down cards, 3 face-up table cards and 4 cards in your hand. Tap a hand card, then a face-up card to swap them. Repeat as needed, use SORT if helpful, then press READY. The host can choose clockwise or anticlockwise play between deals.

3

Start low

The player holding the lowest eligible card in their final hand starts. Opening order begins 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, J, Q, K, then 10. A, 2 and 3 are treated as high/special for the opening check and do not qualify. READY order breaks a tie.

4

Select and play

The gold highlight and TURN label on a name card show whose turn it is. Tap a card so it lifts, then press PLAY. On phones, Play and Pick up buttons are hidden by default; enable them in Menu if preferred. On touch screens, flick a card upwards to play it, or select matching cards and flick one of the selected cards up to play the group. You may select several cards if they have the same rank. Play equal to or higher than the live card on the pile.

5

Draw or pick up

While the draw pile remains, refill your hand to at least 3 cards. If you cannot play—or choose not to—press PICK UP to take the whole pile. On touch screens, you can also swipe down on the central pile. If another matching card is offered, add it or press FINISH TURN.

6

Finish the table

Once the draw pile is gone, finish your hand. If your final hand cards match a visible table card, you may include it in the same play. The three table positions then act independently: play any visible top card, or choose any exposed face-down card blind as soon as the card above it has gone. If none of your visible cards can play, select one—or matching cards—and press PICK UP; those cards and the central pile enter your hand. Players with no cards left are OUT and are skipped. In solo, once you are out, press Finish round to speed through the remaining CPU turns; you can slow them down again. At game over, the Shit Head may reveal any bottom cards they still held.
