How to play

To start playing all but one of the sticks included are held with one hand above a flat surface and then dropped into a pile on to that surface.The players then take it in turns to try and remove the gaming sticks from the pile without disturbing any of the others.This can be done by lifting, pressing down on the tapered end of a stick, or flicking it out with the one remaining stick (known as the helper stick). If any of the sticks other than the one that a player is attempting to remove moves the turn ends.Every stick removed is worth a point, apart from the golden stick which is worth 3 points, and the player with the most points at the end of a game (once all the sticks are removed) is the winner.
