This handbook describes the playing options that are available in our Skat programs. Note however, that all options are available only in our premium product, Rasche's Schafkopf/Sheepshead 4.0 and (with minor limitations) in Rasche's Schafkopf/Sheepshead 3.0.  The remaining "beginner" or "normal" versions (Rasche's Schafkopf/Sheepshead 2.0, Schafkopf Profi, Schafkopf, and Tom's Schafkopf Express) are missing significant options.  These limitations are explained in the relevant chapters.  All purchasers have the opportunity to upgrade to higher-level versions at attractive upgrade prices, however.  Current information is always available on our homepage (http://www.raschesgames.com) or you can simply e-mail us at:  support@raschesspiele.de . 

We offer free telephone support only to our premium level customers and to those customers (regardless of the product purchased) who have purchased directly from us.  Others should request support from the source of their software purchase.
