I’ve been playing sheepshead at family holidays for the better part of 25 years. When I was first learning how to play, everything I found had slightly different styles…everything from 3-handed to 5-handed, sometimes using the 8s and 7s and sometimes not, occasionally with some random exception about how doubles can occur, when you can and cannot call a partner etc.

I never found a version based on what I knew how to play: 4-handed sheepshead using 24 cards (Queens, Jacks, Aces, Tens, Kings, & Nines). Now I have that version, and you can too.

Terms

Feel free to use granny hand at your leisure for whatever purpose you have in mind.

Refunds

All granny hand purchases are final. I cannot issue refunds charged to your Apple ID, but you can ask Apple to do so.

For Entertainment Only

granny hand is not intended for, and should not be used for any sort of betting.

Privacy

Data Collection

granny hand collects your played game data for the sole purpose of showing you statistics. These data are stored in your iCloud account for convenience. These data are not transmitted in any way to third-parties; It’s just you & GameCenter.

Data Sharing

Given the above point, granny hand cannot share data. granny hand is a SwiftUI app and makes use of Apple’s developer libraries exclusively; no external libraries. These Apple libraries do not, to the best of my knowledge, collect data.

Data Retention

Since granny hand does collect data, granny hand also allows you to remove this data; In the Statistics view, tap the Game History button. At the bottom of the listing, there’s a Clear History button that will irrevocably purge this data from your device and iCloud account.

Support

There’s not much that can go wrong with granny hand. That said, if after restarting your device and reproducing the issue you think you’ve found a bug, please reach out; I don’t like bugs either.
