Mega Pick up Sticks

Pick up sticks is a game from Europe, also known as Mikado or Mikado sticks, dating back to the 17th century, now supersized for the lawn. The sticks are bundled and released onto the ground, causing them to jumble. Players take turns picking up one stick at a time without moving others. A special stick (Mikado/Mandarin) can be used to assist. On a fault, the turn ends, and the next player bundles and drops the sticks. After several rounds, typically five, the player with the highest total score wins. Suitable for all ages and abilities, so everyone can join in.
