This game dates back to the early American Indians who used tree sticks to play the game. It is still available today and is a great game to enjoy indoors in bad weather. The game now consists of thirty sticks painted with 4 colors of different point value. The object is to “spill” the sicks in a pile and then try to remove one at a time without disturbing any others in the pile. It requires a steady hand.
