These are the rules that I have always used playing Idiot. There are many variations possible, so this might not be exactly how you are used to playing the game. The purpose of Idiot is to lose all your cards by putting them on the pile. A card that is put on the pile must be equal or higher than the top card of the pile. (Redirected from Idiot (card game)) Shithead (also known by many other names, most commonly Karma, Palace and Shed 1 ) is a card game, the object of which is to lose all of one's playing cards, with the final player being the 'shithead'.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why won't you add rule-variations/replayable-games/any-other-feature? It would make the game much better.

A: We get a lot of requests from people that just want one tiny little feature added to a game. What they don't realize is that if we start implementing all the suggestions we get then the games will no longer be simple. The number one praise we get is that the interface is simple and uncluttered and it's easy to play. That's very much deliberate. There is no login, no loading screens, as few options as possible. We want to keep it as simple as possible, and that means each game only has one set of rules, you can't choose variations, we try to add as few controls as possible to the screen etc. So, don't feel bad if you make a suggestion and I deny it, we deny 99% of all suggestions.

Q: Why can't I see my statistics on another computer?

A: This goes back to simplicity again. We don't want people to have to login to the site. We don't want to keep passwords in a database and be responsible for them. Your statistics are stored in your browser, we don't store them anywhere. That means that as soon as you switch browsers you won't see the same statistics.

Q: Does this site use cookies and/or track people?

A: Yes, this site uses cookies. They are used for game purposes, like remembering your scores between rounds, but also to gather aggregate data on people's browsers, screen resolutions and more, which helps us figure out what we need to support. Finally they are also used for advertising purposes. A more detailed description of our cookie use can be found in our Privacy Policy, and you can always reach out and contact us if you're concerned about it.

Q: Do the computer players cheat? Are the games fixed?

A: No. In all the games the cards are dealt randomly at the start, and the computer players make their decisions based only on knowledge of their own hands, and knowledge of what has been played. Basically they use the same information as a human player would have available to them.

Q: I saw an offensive ad. Can you remove it?

A: If you see an ad that is offensive to you then please contact us and we'll try our best to block it. Due to the way advertising works we can't always immediately find the ads to block them, but if you send a screenshot of it, or you remember any text on it or a url then there's a much higher chance that we can find it and block it.

1. Every player is dealt three cards, which they aren't allowed to look at and must remain face-down until the end of the game.

2. They are, then, dealt seven cards each from which they pick their best possible penultimate hand and place those cards face-up on the three hidden cards. You want high numerical value, multiple, or wild cards if you have them.
3. After all players have put down at least three cards (to cover the hidden cards), they take as many cards from the deck as they put down (you must have at least seven cards in you hand so long as there is still a deck to draw from). The players are allowed to alter the penultimate hand for the first two rounds after which it is locked in.

4. Cards retain their numerical values and no attention is paid to suit. Three cards are essentially trump cards: Twos can be played to any card and restart the values, Tens clear the pile and the player is allowed to place another card in the middle, Aces are the highest card and can only be beaten by another ace or trump. Also, if four of a kind appears, the four cards are removed from play and the player who threw the fourth matching card gets another turn (i.e. if player 1 throws a 6, player 2 throws two 6s, and player 3 throws the fourth 6, then the four 6s are removed from play and player 3 goes again.).
5. The game is played such that each player is required to meet, beat, or trump the card(s) thrown by the previous player. This continues until one player has no more cards.

6. You can throw multiples if you have them (i.e. you can put three 5s down at the same time), and if you have four of a kind, you get another turn.
7. If you can't meet, beat, or trump the card, you may draw a card fromt he deck. If that card can meet, beat, or trump, you may play it. If not, you pick up that card and the entire pile, all of which becomes your hand.
8. Again, all players must have a minimum of seven cards in their hands while there is still a deck to draw from.
9. The player who runs out of cards first wins.

10. Every time cards are played is a round (the first round is started by whoever has the lowest value card), and are allowed to adjust the penultimate hand for the first three rounds, but only while it is still your turn.
