[[File:Shithead1 (card game).JPG|thumb|The game in its final phase, with two face-up cards played]]
A player who has no more cards in hand when the stock is empty must play from their upcards. If unable or unwilling to play an upcard, the player must pick up the wastepile. Once all of the upcards have been played, a player must then play downcards. These are played unseen one at a time and if the chosen card is lower than the previous card played, the wastepile must be picked up and, on subsequent turns, the player must play their hand cards before playing any more downcards.{{efn|This is the main difference from Vändtia where a downcard is turned face up when the upcard above it is played.}}

A player who has no cards left drops out. The last player left with cards is the loser and deals in the next game, but players may agree other forfeits, such as getting the next round of drinks.<ref name="pagat" />
