Pick-up Game Sticks Quint Mikado 25 cm — Wooden balancing and dexterity game

Quint Mikado 25 cm is a set of wooden pick-up game sticks designed to train manual dexterity and concentration through the classic Mikado/pick-up game. Each stick measures 25 cm and is finished to a smooth, tactile surface suitable for repeated handling. The set is intended for tabletop play at home, in classrooms, or during social gatherings where players take turns removing single sticks from a loosely arranged pile without moving others.

Advantages

The wooden construction provides a natural feel and stable weight for controlled movements, while the 25 cm length offers a balance between visibility and precision. The smooth finish reduces splinters and allows sticks to slide past each other, which helps accuracy and makes the game suitable for a wide age range. Compact and lightweight, the set is easy to store and transport, fitting into small boxes or bags for use in various settings.

Suitable for

• Family board and tabletop game sessions
• Developing fine motor skills in children and students
• Coordination and concentration exercises in therapy or education
• Party and social gatherings as a simple dexterity challenge
• Quiet leisure activities at home or in classrooms

How to use

Arrange the sticks into a loosely clustered pile on a flat surface. Players take turns attempting to remove a single stick from the pile without causing other sticks to move. Use steady hand movements and, if allowed by the rules chosen, a removed stick may allow an extra turn. The game finishes when all sticks are removed or when no further moves are possible; scoring can be based on stick colours or any agreed point system. Clean and dry the sticks after use and store them in their original packaging or a dry container to preserve the wood finish.

Usage recommendations

For safe and long-lasting use, avoid exposure to moisture or direct sunlight. Supervise young children during play to prevent accidental ingestion of small parts. Use on a flat, stable surface to ensure consistent gameplay and store the sticks in a dry place to maintain the smooth finish and prevent warping.
