Hi, Your message is confusing. You mentioned 24 cards instead of 32. Which 8
cards aren't included in your "new" version, and how is the scoring different.
Is this a "called ace" version and how many players in a game?
There are numerous versions: For example, 6-handed (dealer sits out);
7-handed and all players sit in each getting 4 (yes, FOUR) cards and 4 cards in
the blind. The first person who wants to "pick" may take all 4 blinds and play
alone - OR picker takes any two cards from the blind pile (face down, of course)
and the next player to his/her left, is the partner and takes the remaining two
cards.
Then of course there are the usual 3 and 4 handed versions, but I'd be
interested in hearing more about your 24-card game. Please e-mail me with your
response. Happy playing!

I live in Southwestern Ohio, but learned a variation on Sheephead from
my husband's family. We play with only 24 cards, no blinds, and trump
ranking is abit different. Qc, Qs, Jc, Js, Jh, Jd, Ace or "Fox" of
Diamonds, 10 d, Kd, Qd, 9d. Scoring is different too. Has anyone
heard of this version before? Let me know! Thanks!
