The Story Behind the Book

Sheepshead isn't just a card game — it's a Wisconsin institution. From Friday night fish fries to Sunday family gatherings, it's been bringing people together for generations.

Levi Wolff wrote this book for his daughter, inspired by the parents and grandparents who taught him to play. Now your family can start the tradition early, too.
