The whole bundle of sticks is aligned, gripped with one of the palms and then suddenly released from the hand on a tabletop or other mat. The sticks hit the table and the opponents then pull from the pile one by one. Bad throwing can be repeated twice. If any other stick moves while pulling, the opponent continues the game. After getting a stick called Mandarin or Mikado (black or green), you can help release others. The game ends after disassembling all the bars. The winner is the one of the opponents who manages to collect the bars with the highest point total. The wooden box contains 41 pieces of wooden sticks.
