https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smear_(card_game)Smear (also known as Schmier) is a North-American trick-taking card game of the All Fours group,[1] and a variant of Pitch (Setback). Several slightly different versions are played in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Minnesota, Northern and Central Iowa, Wisconsin and also in Ontario, Canada.
It is highly likely that the name is related to the German word schmieren, which is used in point-trick games such as Skat for the technique of discarding a high-value card on a trick which your partner is winning. The name might perhaps be connected to the fact that a high-scoring card may be discarded in a trick won by the player's partner, like in Pinochle,[2] or even to "smudge," which is the highest bid in some forms of Pitch.
Meh I was going for the type of games you get together and play with family or a group of friends. I left it out as I view that as more of a casino game but I get a lot of people like it.Yeah, bad omission.
Voted Other - Pusoy DosMy family played a game called Big 2, not sure if it's called something else on other parts of the country.
4 players are dealt 13 cards. They take turns playing single, pairs, 3 of a kind or 5 card hands. But you can only play cards if your hand beats the previous hand. Player that gets rid of all their cards wins. 2's are the highest ranked card.
Score is kept by counting the numbers of cards left in your hand reach round. 11 cards left is doubled to 22 points, 12 cards if doubled to 24 points, 13 cards it's tripled to 36 points.
Crazy swing game. Especially if there's a triple burn. My college admin had to get involved when a kid on my floor lost over 1k playing this game (they call it "in between" in Minnesota).Acey-Deucey was nuts. We’d have guys that would be throwing jewelry into the pot. We’d also have to hold the game up while someone ran to the ATM to cover the pot. Crazy game.
ETA: Blackjack would probably get my vote though. Love me some 21.
Yep, I think that was the Filipino name for the same game. I wish more people played this.Voted Other - Pusoy Dos
It's similar to Big 2.
The way we played it, the order of suits (from lowest to highest) was Diamonds, Clubs, Hearts, Spades, with 2 of Spades being the highest ranked cards. When buddies and I played for cash, we'd keep track of the winners of each round. The losers would lose a point for each card they were holding after the winner was determined. Those points due to the winner were also kept track of. We'd play a pre-determined amount of rounds, and then figure out how much each person owed each of the other people. Each point was worth $0.25, sometimes we played a point equaled a dollar.
Used to play Pedro every on the bus to/from high school back in the day, and a good amount of my family used to play as well. I haven't played in a while, as we now almost always play bid euchre at family gatherings.Anyone ever play Pedro (sometimes spelled 'Pedreaux')? I've only ever run into it down here in Louisiana. It's a trick-turning game based on Pitch.
The biggest difference are that the 5s are the highest-scoring cards. It's been a really long time since I've played, and I've probably forgotten all kinds of little intricacies.
My parents church has a card night tonight. $15 to get a seat at a table. Lasagna and ribs dinner, free beer, door prizes. So 5 of us are going to play some sheepshead for like the 2nd time in about 15 years. We used to play 3-4 times a week back before girlfriends/wives/kids/jobs etc. Used to play for dimes but since we all have jobs now we're upping the stakes to quarters. jessiespano.gifSheeps over Euchre by a hair. That's only because I don't play much sheeps anymore, otherwise there'd be no question. Might get a game going after our draft tomarrow though.
