How to play The Game
To start playing a giant game all but one of the sticks included are held with one hand above a flat surface and are then dropped into a pile on to the floor or patio.The players then take it in turn 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 and the player with the most points at the end of a game (once all the sticks are removed) is the winner, apart from the golden stick which is worth 3 points.

A giant version of this popular game originally made by Jaques over 100 years ago. Great family fun. Packed in a handy cotton drawstring bag. Each stick measures approx. 36 inches.
