CONTENTS:

OBJECTIVE:

The goal is to score the most points by picking up sticks one at a time without moving others. Points are based on the stick's color. The player with the highest score wins!

 

HOW TO PLAY:

  1. The youngest player starts. Take turns to carefully pick up one stick at a time without moving any other sticks in the pile. Play continues clockwise.
  2. Rules for picking up:

    You can only use your fingers (no tools or extra help).

    If any other stick moves when you're picking one up, your turn ends.

    If you successfully pick up a stick without disturbing others, you can keep going and pick up another one

  3. The game ends when all the sticks have been picked up. If you have a tie, play another round to decide the winner!

 

USING THE SCOREPAD (OPTIONAL):

  1. Add each players initials into a column.
  2. After each turn, players writes down the points earned from the sticks they picked up in their column.
  3. At the end of the game, add up each player's points and the player with the highest total wins!
