What is this game?

Sh*thead/ Palace/ Shed is a modern folk game historically played with a deck of traditional playing cards. It was extremely popular among travellers and by the 1990s Shithead had spread globally with new house rules being created along the way. Learn how to play →

What's our story?

We're two friends who got locked down in a houseshare together in 2020. We went from strangers to best friends pretty quickly - making booch, watching sunsets and playing S*thead together every night. The only problem was that it took SO long to learn the rules - it was painful to play with new people. Then one day we were like... why has no one created a version with the rules on the cards?! So we did it. And we hope this game brings you as much joy as it's brought us. Read the full story →
