Rules for "SOB" Card Game? (Likely Doesn't Exist — Help Me Find It)

No widely known card game is titled **"SOB"** (or "S.O.B."). It's likely one of:

Common Confusions

  • S.O.B. (Son of a Gun / "Sweet Old Bob"): A drinking game variant (e.g., "Screw Your Neighbor" with penalties). Rules vary wildly by house.
  • Spades / Hearts / Oh Hell: "SOB" as slang for a bad hand or a specific bid.
  • Soup or Bust, Ship Captain Crew (dice): Misheard?
  • Regional/Family Game: "Grandpa's SOB" — invented rules passed down.
  • Acronym Game: Slap, Over, Burn? Spit, On, Board?

To Identify It, Tell Me:

  • Deck: Standard 52? Special cards? Multiple decks?
  • Players: 2? 4? 6+?
  • Goal: Shed cards? Capture tricks? Score points? Avoid penalty?
  • Key Mechanics: Trick-taking? Shedding? Matching? Bluffing? Building sequences?
  • Memorable Rules: "Jacks are wild," "7 reverses," "say 'SOB' when..."
  • Origin: Family? College? Bar? Region (country/state)?

With a few details, I can either find the existing game or help you reconstruct/write clear rules for your version.
