Pickup Sticks earns its classic status by delivering an unlikely combination of light-hearted play and heart-stopping suspense. Games can be short and simple, or drawn-out and epic. It’s an ideal family game, since dexterous
little fi ngers may actually have an advantage over their elders. The Klutz Book of Pickup Sticks is the absolutely no-argument-ever-again, complete set of offi cial rules to the traditional game, plus a few variations for those with no need for tradition. Also includes the ancient competitive thinking game Nim, several head-scratching stick puzzles, a party game called Bottle Top Balance, and more.
