Sheepshead Guide India

Card power and point value, side by side.

Explore all 32 cards without confusing two different orders.

Read the badge

The explorer uses Pagat’s listed fixed-trump model. A position badge refers to playing strength within that group; a point badge describes captured-card value. They answer different questions.

Change the view

Playing order groups the fourteen trumps first, followed by the three fail suits. Point-value view sorts all cards by value, with equal values retaining the reference order. Filter to a group when practising. A point-value sort does not change the ranking used to win a trick.

Position is within the playing group, not a global ranking of fail suits. Point-value order never changes trick strength. Reference: Pagat Sheepshead. Without JavaScript the complete reference order remains visible.
