"Sheepshead, or Schafkopf in German, is an old game that originated in Middle Europe in the mid to late 1700's. The game is believed to be derived Tarok and Kalabrias. The game was developed by peasants who were feed up with their government and expressed their discontent by giving the King Card a lower rank. To this day, Sheepshead has a very strange order ranking of cards." - Sheepshead.org
