How to play Pick-Up Sticks

[@lorenaluera4541]

Wow, definitley didn't play it like this when I was a kid!

[@tripleparakeetshoes4613]

When I was a kid, we passed the Master Stick around each turn, for some reason.

[@Dedric444]

Because Master Stick is OP, and no single person should wield that much power

Sorry but the way you're using the black stick makes no sense, might as well end the game once anyone retrieves the back stick. If you were to lose your turn once you move another stick even using the black stick would make more sense. On the video you show the black stick moving all the sticks carelessly which makes no sense.

[@13mviews5]

@@Dedric444 I agree, you might as well end the game, the master stick should lose a turn if they disturb the others.

[@harubangc_]

Thanks for helping me because I got a new worksheet about old games and this video said everything clearly !

[@FlyingSaucerEyez]

how many sticks are you allowed to move with the master stick?

[@SnowBoy1008]

Huh, the way we used to play this was everyone had their own personal master stick that could only move one other stick

[@rosemarievigil5381]

Thank you for sharing! I realize this is 5years ago would please show us how to make these. I bought them but didn't know about the pin eyes. I would like to see how to use just the stamp it self. Thank for your time.

Thank you, Sir! -8yr old 1st time playing Pick Up Sticks.

i never knew these rules when i was kid. i was bullshited out of my points. wtf

[@raechellemcdo11]

That's not how we use the master stick. It just has more points. But we use any other stick to help flick a sticks off without the others moving. Also, we don't allow reshuffling of the sticks meaning the 1st player (usually the previous winner) will be the one scattering the sticks (and the bottom end should be touching the surface, not release from the air). Everyone else has to work with whatever the positions of the sticks are. Otherwise, where's the challenge?

[@brendan9218]

Yep that's how I did it too.

[@ltdhomes]

Excellent - very clear and easy to follow instructions. Do you happen to know if the rules differ for younger players - say 3 - 5 year olds?

[@TripleSGames]

You can always change it to accommodate younger people

[@ardynizunia9709]

So getting the master stick just means you win 100% guaranteed? Cause using it you should be able to pick up every single stick 100% safely. I guess since you redo the board after picking every stick up, it just becomes a game of "Who can get the master stick the most times in a row?" or something?

[@DavidLeeKersey]

The way we played it was you kept the black stick out of the pile and had to use it to pick up the others and none of this moving other sticks around with it. So it got passes from player to player as you took turns.

[@FelixWatts]

Agreed. This master stick rule cannot be right. It probably means that you are allowed to use the master stick to help you but you are still not allowed to touch or move any stick other than the one you are picking up.

[@michelewalburn4376]

I'm 54. I recently bought some for my granddaughter. I can't remember how to play them so here I am. Lol

[@andrewprahst2529]

The black stick is OP. Doesn't that mean you basically get the whole stack since you can just seperate all the sti ks with no risk of losing?

[@calmrake]

why am I here, I just wanted to see how to play minesweeper

[@Oliver-ng4ft]

Did you learn how to play?

[@skyeplaysgames4598]

@@Oliver-ng4ft I am wondering that too

[@jonathansantos2271]

There is so much details to simplify and separate time lines eventually of, simply it will take awhile to know how our own limits had to patient and close enough in order to place, and grade experience style with worth of skill. as goal language generosity yuppotentialed. Inter approximate tellegence and honest refinesty dis equally open to recooperate as a close call therefore persettling only a way to be currently befairing regardable and course guiding through out it's game history. Great way to keep learning and graduating. I can work with others in trying simplify what to say in each attention to detail. Make the most of insight and sight touch sound.💯

[@LanceAFate]

Red? They're pink

[@honeyjuice219]

I don't really mind, is not like theirs a red and pink stick because that would be confusing.

[@acmarston]

Haven't thought about this game in years.

[@VieneLea]

Wait, so if you pick up the master stick you basically won the game?

[@carterhayes4624]

You used the master stick to move many of the other sticks around at once, I don't think that's correct. I think you can use the master stick but you have to do it without disturbing the rest of the pile, just the one stick you're trying to remove

[@TheBigbrother1989]

Wait, this game has rules 🤯

[@jaykenna1335]

TOO CONFUSING I WILL PLAY IT WITHOUT THE STICKS

[@smode983]

Oh wow, I played this all wrong as a kid lololol.

[@RohitKulan]

1:42 isn't that just 34 points?

[@deedee72harris53]

on this game we only have 1 master stick so we use the other sticks

[@Mercurylikessharingan]

Mine is mikado pick up stix

[@Player-df7ny]

honestly, the different amount of points make it unbalanced because of the randomness. id rather play with 1 point for each stick.

[@KatieSimpson-n5l]

Bruh like if you like this guy

[@theodorerodas8797]

If 52 card pickup had rules

[@LeslieHiles-mn9fg]

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣

[@FelixWatts]

It's not clear from this explanation whether you can pick up more than one stick in one turn. I've looked up the rules and you can. You keep going till you mess up. Then it's the next persons turn.

[@Youmayhavepeace]

This is exactly the answer I was looking for also. Thank you!

[@______638]

possibly the worst game ever.
