PICKUPSTICKS
Pick-up sticks
Pick-up sticks or pick-a-stick is a game of physical and mental skill. A bundle of 'sticks,' between 3 and 8 inches long, are held in a loose bunch and released on a table top, falling in random disarray. Each player, in turn, must remove a stick from the pile without disturbing the remaining ones. One root of the name "pick-up sticks" may be the line of a children's nursery rhyme, "...five, six, pick-up sticks!" The game has spawned several variations such as Jackstraws, Spellicans, and Spillikins.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Pick-up sticks
