Beating Games : Shithead

Introduction

This game is also sometimes known by other names, such as Palace, Karma, China Hand and Ten-Two Slide. The first version of the page was based on a contribution from Michael Labranche, and Jim Curtis, Ciaran Gultnieks, Sean Daly, William Putt, Jane Guarducci and Cristian Seres have added variations.

The game is probably of Scandinavian or Nordic origin: it may be descended from the very similar Swedish game Vändtia (“turn ten”) and it is quite closely related to the Finnish game Paskahousu (“shit pants”). It is now known in many parts of the world, having been spread during the last decades of the 20th century by young travellers (backpackers) of all nationalities.
