	Description Edit \| History

Long, thin sticks are scattered on the table in a heap. The black one is used as a tool to pick up the others. The player picks up sticks one at a time, until he causes any other stick to move besides the one he is attempting to pick up. Score points based on the color retrieved.

The game is believed to have developed from the yarrow stalks used for divination with the Chinese I Ching.

This concept has been re-published in Germany, 2003, by HABA as Mikado, a game Ages 5 and up

	More Information Edit \| History

The game was played in Sweden from the beginning of the 19th century.
