What is Stick 'Em
In the trick-taking card game Stick 'Em, first released as Sticheln, players seek to gather points each hand by taking as many cards as possible of all but one color, while trying to avoid cards of one color of their choosing.
In more detail, at the beginning of each hand, each player simultaneously selects and reveals one card from their hand, with the color of this card representing their "pain" color. At the end of the hand, each card of this color that they've collected (including their initial choice from their hand) is worth negative points equal to the card's face value. Each card of another color that this player has collected is worth 1 point.
To play out the hand, the active player leads a card, then each other player in clockwise order plays one card. If all cards are of the same color, then whoever played the highest card collects these cards, then leads the next trick; if all cards are not of the same color, then whoever played the highest card of a color not initially led collects these cards, then leads the next trick. (One exception: A zero card can never win a trick.) In effect, each color played in a particular trick that doesn't match the color of the card led is considered a trump card, and the highest trump wins. In the event of a tie, the earlier played card breaks the tie.
Play as many hands as the number of players in the game, summing each player's points over those hands to determine a winner.

de 3 a 8, cartas un desconocido para mi. Buen juego
Another of these great simple games, with a machiavelic point that make them absolutely a delight to play. It can be nasty sometimes, but it is absolute fun. It plays a bit tricky about who is winning the round, but this is what makes it so good. The winner of the round is the highest card of a colour different than the starting one. The scoring makes the second part. Every player starts his scoring pile with a card chosen from the initial hand. This will be his negative color. Every card you get of this color, scores as many negative points as the number in the card. For any other col
