So how do you play pick up sticks? Before you start, you need a set of pick up sticks, and at least one other person to play with. Find a level surface, decide on any variations or rules that you want to employ, and follow these steps:
Prepare the game. Gather the pick up sticks into one hand. Hold them vertically, or perpendicular to the ground, about a few inches above your playing surface. Then drop the sticks and allow them to fall freely.
Gameplay begins. The first player starts picking up sticks, trying not to move any of the other sticks. After a stick is successfully removed, that player attempts to remove another. This continues until he or she moves another stick, or until they have reached the maximum number of sticks allowed to be taken in one turn. If you are scoring after each turn, record the first player's score. Otherwise, proceed to the next player.
The next player then attempts to remove a stick, continuing to remove sticks until another stick is moved or the maximum is reached. Each player continues to take turns.
The game ends either when no sticks remain, or when a player reaches a specific score.
At this point, a winner can be declared, or another round of pick up sticks can begin. There are many variations to the game that can increase difficulty and keep it interesting for many, many plays. For example, try using a retriever hook to pick up the sticks, which can easily be fashioned from a bent paper clip. Make up your own house rules, such as the youngest player going first, or that all players must use their non-dominant hand. Vary the height from which you drop the sticks to create different challenges. There's no end to the fun of pick up sticks!
