Sheepshead is a trick-taking card game related to the Skat family of games. It is the Americanized version of a card game which originated in Central Europe in the late 1700s under the German name Schafkopf. While they don't yet offer Sheepshead at most casinos, they do offer more traditional games like poker, slots, and roulette. Looking to play online, visit online casino uk.

Although Schafkopf literally means "sheepshead", the term may have been derived from Middle High German and referred to playing cards on an overturned barrel (from kopfen, meaning playing cards, and Schaff, meaning a barrel). This form of game is certainly a far cry from the modern day's internet gaming featuring blackjack, craps, and bingo online. Some yearn for the old days, while others enjoy modern conveniences.
