Your house rules, not ours

Every group plays Shithead differently, so every special card is customisable. Assign Reset, Invisible, Skip, Lower, Reverse, or Burn to any rank, toggle four-of-a-kind burns and voluntary pickup, or start from the classic Rawlins preset (2 reset, 3 invisible, 8 skip, 9 lower, 10 burn). Your custom rule set is remembered for next time.
