Mikado (pick up sticks) Game Rules

A test of the player's skill at removing sticks from a pile, one at a time and without disturbing any of its neighbours. Each player takes it in turns to pick up a specified colour stick. 
The blue stick, or Mikado, is the most important one and may be used to help pick up the other sticks, once the player has at least one stick of all the other colours. If any other stick is moved in this process, the player will lose their turn. 
The remaining players continue to pick up sticks until none remain.

The player who manages to pick up a red stick, an orange stick, a green stick and a yellow/black stick in this order, has the right to double their respective points. 
Any player who commits one of the following will lose their turn and will not be able to count points: 
Picks up the Mikado without having at least one stick of each colour. 
Uses a stick that is not the Mikado to move or pick up a stick. 
For any number of players - we have two sets available one in a solid Beech turned tube, sanded and lacquered,  with the other in a cardboard tube with Beech timber ends.
