Boon is a trick-taking card game, based on the German card game Sheepshead.[1] It was released in 2015.[2] Though the rules of Boon are analogous to those in the game Sheepshead, Boon uses a specialized deck which corresponds directly to the rules of the game. This is different than Sheepshead, which is played with 32 cards from the Standard 52-card deck. Boon can be played with three or four players.
