Wooden Balancing Sticks Game | "Keep It Steady" Dexterity Puzzle (Ages 3+)
 
Description: How steady is your hand? This classic wooden game is a thrilling test of dexterity, strategy, and nerve! The goal is simple: pull out a stick without making the whole bundle collapse.
 
How to Play:
Hold the 27 sticks in a bundle, place the ring over them, and let them go on a flat surface. They will splay out, balanced by the ring.
Players take turns rolling the colour die.
The player must carefully pull out one stick of the colour they rolled... without moving any other sticks or letting the ring touch the table!
The strategic twist? Sticks have different scores! Blue = 3 points, Red = 2, Yellow = 1. Will you risk pulling a tricky 3-point stick or play it safe?
