I'm Not Talking About Decapitating 

I thought this article on JSOnline was pretty sweet... talking about the largest Sheepshead tournament in the country which took place at Nicolet High School in Glendale. Lately I've been playing more Texas Hold 'em (and not doing too bad either), but Sheepshead is a fun game to play. I just haven't played in quite a while... but I used to play a lot in high school.

If you've never heard of it... it probably means you live in an area without a large German population (where it's known as "Schafkopf"). You actually don't even use a full deck to play. Maybe that's why I enjoy it so much... I haven't been playing with a full deck for years (If I didn't make the joke, I knew someone would). If you've heard or played Euchre, it's somewhat similar... but where Euchre is mindless, there is actually strategy involved in Sheepshead.

Where did the name Sheepshead come from? I have no clue.
