2–4 players · 15 min · 6+
A variation of the game "Pick Up Sticks". Wooden cylinders are loaded into a circular Plexiglas frame and then removed one at a time by the players. If no cylinders move other than the one the player is trying to remove, the player keeps the piece (which is worth points). If another piece moves, however, the player must return the piece to the top of the pile and play proceeds to the next person. First player to reach a predetermined score wins.
