  Shithead (card game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shithead (also known as Asshole, Dogmeat, Shed, Palace, Loser, Idiot, Karma, and CFUCG an acronym for "Crazy Fucked Up Card Game") is a card game in which the aim is to lose all of one's cards.
The game, and variations of it, are popular in many countries, particularly amongst teenage and twentysomething travellers - learning it almost seems to be a rite of passage.
Shithead is a popular card game for two to six players in which players aim to not be the last player to get rid of their cards.

 Card game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It consists of 52 cards, each card having a suit (one of spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs) and a rank (a number between 2 and 10, or one of jack, queen, king and ace).
In addition to games that use the standard deck, there are also games that use some modification of the standard deck, for example excluding all cards of rank lower than some rank, or adding a special card, joker, to the standard deck.
For example in a trick taking game it is easier to have all one's cards of the same suit together, whereas in a rummy game one might sort them by rank or by potential combinations.

 Twisted Shithead
Twisted Shithead is an elaborate variation on the popular card game Shithead (also known as Palace or Karma) which favours strategic play and reduces the amount of chance involved.
