Kein Stich ("No Tricks") is a card game, which is well known in the German-speaking parts of the world under various regional names such as Herzeln (not to be confused with Herzeln or Herzla), King Louis, Kunterbunt ("Multicoloured"), Schwarze Sau ("Black Pig"), Fritz, Brumseln, Fünferspiel ("Fives"), Lieschen, Lizzy or Pensionisteln ("Pensioners").

[1] The special feature of this game is that it consists of a compendium of five different deals.

The following describes the most common variant, which is for 4 players who are dealt 8 cards each.

The fundamental rule is that players must follow suit (this is known as Farbzwang); there are no trumps.

In six-deal versions, the number of points or pfennigs won in the final lay-off deal rises to 200.
