Pretend I had both the 7 and ace of hearts. Someone leads with an 8 of hearts, I'm at the end. Can't I just throw off my 7 instead of ace because I know who is partner?
I disagree that player 1 should play the 10 of hearts on the first trick. At that point in the game, they don't know who the partner is, so they wouldn't want to smear without knowing. Instead, they would be better off playing the 8 of spades since that's the called suit as that would allow them to play trump when the called suit is led.
Thanks! It's been a long time favorite game of mine, this video explains everything I try to when explaining to people. JUST GET 61 points!
Wait wait wait. I know you have to follow suit, but when was there a rule you had to play the ace instead of tossing a fail card?

Just say at the end. "If your team doesn't make 30 points you don't make Schneider." Or do you need exactly 31 to count?
Actually, the picker needs to get 61 points to win... the others only need to get 60.
@@Koskicat If you're playing where the picker calls an ace as the partner, when the called suit is first played, the partner must play the ace.
I've played a variation of sheepshead in the UK but no cards are placed in the middle and you use the whole pack.
tell me more about it please, how does that work and what is it'sname

Wrong. Player 1 can be certain that player 5 is not the picker's partner because player 5 over trumped him.
