Chalking the score at a game of Sheepshead

On the grained top of a worn wooden table a stemmed glass stands half full of beer; at the upper edge two playing cards lie face up, and at the right a hand holding a fan of cards writes the numbers 20, 30 and 40 in chalk on the wood. The source names the game as Sheepshead, the Bavarian card game Schafkopf that German settlers brought to the Midwest.
