Editing Shithead (card game) (section)

== Variations ==
The following variations are recorded:
* ''Jokers''. Two [[Joker (card)|Jokers]] are added as special cards that reverse the direction of play. They also allow six people to play.<ref name="parlett"/>
* ''Additional special cards''. Other card values can be given special attributes, such as reversing the order of play,<ref name="pagat"/> skipping a player's turn,<ref name="pagat"/> or requiring the next card to be lower than the played card.<ref name="pagat"/><ref name=parlett/> A common one is to have one rank e.g. 8s considered "transparent", "invisible" or "glass", the next card played having to beat the one below the transparent card.<ref name="pagat"/><ref name=parlett/>
* ''Stacking''. When rearranging cards before play begins, players may stack cards of the same [[rank (cards)|rank]] on top of each other on the upcard piles and replenish the hand from stock; this may be done more than once if more cards can be stacked.<ref name="pagat" />
* ''Tens restricted''. Tens may not be played on face cards; a player who plays a 10 may take another turn immediately.<ref name="pagat"/>
* ''Lower than''. When a 7 is played, the next play must be lower than 7, except that a 10 may still be played.<ref name="pagat"/>
* ''Transparency''. In some variants 8s (or 7s) are "transparent" and players instead play based on the card below them.<ref name="pagat"/>
