MATERIALS
- A bundle of 20-40 thin sticks or long matchsticks, ideally with a few painted a special color
HOW TO PLAY
1
Hold the bundle of sticks upright on a flat surface, then let go so they fall into a scattered pile.
2
The first player carefully tries to remove one stick from the pile without disturbing any others.
3
If successful, that player keeps the stick and takes another turn; if any other stick moves, their turn ends.
4
Play passes to the next player, who attempts the same from the remaining pile.
5
Specially colored sticks are worth extra points or grant a bonus turn when removed cleanly.
6
Once no sticks remain, count each player's collected sticks with bonus values; the highest total wins.
