About the game
What you do in a play session
StickUp is the game that makes your brain fire in seconds. As colored sticks hit the table, the race starts: whoever taps the matching card first wins the point. Each round brings two sticks, so you have to watch the combinations and react quickly. The goal is simple – collect more cards than the others before the game ends. The pattern recognition mechanic tests your vision and memory, while the action and dexterity demand you be ready to tap the card at the right moment. The deck has various colors and each card matches a specific color, so sharp focus is essential. The game is short, with 10‑20 minute sessions, perfect for parties or a quick break between activities. Components are light: just a deck and a few colored sticks, everything you need is in a compact box. If you enjoy speed challenges, party games, and want something that doesn’t require a lot of explanation, StickUp comes in as the ideal partner for your next gathering. It’s the blend of speed, visual perception and fun in a compact, accessible format.
