If you've ever gone backpacking, you know this game. Hostels, beaches, 2am, a deck on the table. Everyone argued about the rules. Everyone called it something different — Shithead, Palace, Karma, Idiot, Shed, Boot, Ten-Two Slide, China Hand or Vändtia. It was the same game. The same shared memory.
I'm a documentary filmmaker, not a coder. But I missed that feeling — so I spent the last 3 months rebuilding it from an old broken codebase, teaching an AI to play like a real hostel opponent. The night it finally clicked, and I forgot I was playing a bot — that was the whole project paying off.
Hit Head is free. All the chaos you remember: jokers, bombs, reverses, streaks. Play it alone at the airport, or pass the phone around the table.
