Description Edit | History

Similar in scope and evilness to David and Goliath, players seek to gather points by taking certain suits, while avoiding the negative points in other suits. At the beginning of each hand, each player selects one card from his hand, which becomes his 'pain' suit. The face value of all the cards from that suit he takes will be negative points. Positive points are won by taking any other card not in your 'pain' suit, however each of these cards is only worth a single point. Players need not follow suit if they don't wish to, however every card not in the suit led (except for the precious zeros) is considered a trump card, with the highest, earliest played trump card taking the trick.

Earlier versions of the game allow up to 6 players, and later versions add cards to allow up to 8.
