Overview

What ABG knows about this game

The object of the game is to balance all of your wooden sticks on a continually evolving structure without making it topple over. Each player takes a turn to roll the die which will show a 1 or 2. The die roll determines how many other sticks the one that you place may touch. If you make any sticks fall off then you have to pick them up and add them to your own. The winner is the first to have placed all of their sticks or the player preceding the one to make the whole structure fall over.
