What to Expect

Players start by equally dividing wooden sticks. On your turn, you roll three dice and distribute sticks according to the rolls: for each 1, give one stick to the left, for each 2 to the right, and for each 3 place one in the center. Rolling 4, 5, or 6 means you skip your turn if you have no sticks. The goal is to be the first to place your last stick in the center.

Who Is This Game For?

This game is aimed at children aged 6 and older and families looking for a simple and fast dice game. Rules are easy to grasp, and the short 20-minute playtime requires minimal patience or prior experience. It is a classic family game without complex strategies.

How It Works

Using the Dice Rolling mechanic, you roll three dice each turn. For every 1 rolled, you pass a stick to your left neighbor; for every 2, to your right neighbor. For every 3, you place a stick in the center of the board. Rolling 4, 5, or 6 means you skip your turn if you have no sticks, continuing to skip until you receive sticks again.
