Sorry, your connection to the game server failed
We just received an illegal move from your opponent, , which doesn't fit with the current state of the game. We have no idea how this could have happened. Is everything going crazy? Is gravity still turned on? Who knows at this point! Please just click the Close button and try playing a new game, hopefully this won't happen again!
You are now disconnected, other players won't see you online and can't challenge you. You can always go back online by clicking on the Multiplayer button.
These players are currently online. Click on them to challenge them to a game. You can also just click on "Close" and wait until one of them challenges you.
You are the only player online. Just click "Close", if more players come online they'll see you and can challenge you to a game.
It seems you've opened this game in a new tab or window. We only allow players to have a single active game at a time, so we've disconnected this one.
You can't challenge yourself. Well, you can in a general self-improvement type of way, and you probably should, but not in this game. But you can change your name if you want!
Please enter a name to display to other players
You've been disconnected due to inactivity. You can always reconnect by pressing the "Multiplayer" button

These are the rules that I have always used playing Shithead. There are many variations possible, so this might not be exactly how you are used to playing the game.
This online version of Shithead was made by me. My name is Einar Egilsson and over there on the left is my current Facebook profile picture! (Maybe I shouldn't have put my picture so close to the 'About Shithead' headline! Oh well.) A while ago I wanted to learn how to make simple browser games, Shithead is my favorite card game, and so that's what I made!
Since I have no artistic talent whatsoever I used graphics that I found at OpenClipArt, a great site with free graphics. The excellent playing card images were made by Nicu Buculei, check out his site for some more examples of his work. He has lots of great free graphics.
This is version 2346 of Shithead.
