The Pop Up Games Company
Giant Pick Up Sticks
Promising hours of entertainment for all ages, the set features 33 blue, green, yellow, red and black sticks, each measuring in at 90cm long with a circumference of 4.5cm.
How to play
Hold the wooden sticks vertically before releasing them to create a jumbled pile on the ground, then take it in turns to pick them up. Players score points for each stick they successfully pick up with each colour assigned a different amount of points – the person with the most points wins!
There’s a catch, though. The only stick that’s allowed to move is the one being collected. So take a deep breath and – whatever you do – don’t disturb the rest of the pile.
