Vändtia, also called Spanish Skitgubbe (Spansk Skitgubbe) is a "classic" Swedish card game of the shedding type for two to four players in which the last one left holding cards is the loser and may have to pay a forfeit. It is a popular in Sweden, being a game that is easy to learn and quick to play. Despite its alternative southern Swedish name, it is quite different from the classic Swedish three-hander known as Skitgubbe.
