How to play
- Place counters in the centre of your playing area.
- Players take turns dropping their four sticks onto the playing area.
- Once you drop your sticks, mark down a tally mark of your results, and grab that many counters from the centre.
- Each player gets 15 turns each.
- The player with the highest score wins.
- Should there be a tie, players will have a “drop off” to declare the winner.
