FAQs
What age group is this game for?

How many players can play at once?

Troubleshooting
Sticks are rolling off the table surface
Use a tablecloth or place mat with slight texture to provide better friction for the sticks.
Sticks feel slightly bent after storage
Lay the sticks flat on a hard, level surface for a few hours; they should naturally straighten out if not permanently warped.
Difficulty separating sticks during the initial drop
Ensure you are holding the bundle vertically and releasing them from a low height to allow for a better spread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the game is immediate; simply clear a space on a flat surface and release the sticks from your hand. No power or batteries are required. For care and maintenance, keep the game in a cool, dry place inside its provided box to prevent warping or bending of the sticks. If the sticks become dusty, wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the soft coloring on the sticks. Ensure all sticks are accounted for before packing them away to maintain the integrity of the set for future play.
