Nicolet Rec. Dept. Offering "Beginners Sheepshead"

​Learn the popular card game of Sheepshead (Schafkopf – In German).

It is a card game, originated in Central Europe in the late 1700s, and popular in Wisconsin, because of its large German-American population. Many European nationalities now enjoy this game of Sheepshead, which uses 32 cards (7s thru Aces), and accumulates points to determine the winner.

Sign up for this fun and low-key course to learn the basics, or to improve your fundamental concepts. The Instructor has many years of experience and knowledge to share with you. You may even want to participate in the Nicolet Recreation Department’s (and the Glendale Senior Citizens’ Club) Annual Sheepshead Tournament, held in the Spring of each year.
