Schafkopt
Whenever there was a gathering of the Will and Marie Sporleder family for a birthday or holiday, the men usually passed the time playing card games. As a young child, Verna Sporleder Weber recalls the card game called "Schafkopt ." "Schaft" is the German word for sheep while the German word for head is "Kopt."
Verna remembers that Grandpa Will Sporleder's self-appointed task was to draw a sheep's head complete with curved horns with lines through them. As the game progressed, the lines were filled in and each mark had its own meaning as way of keeping score.
