Guessing Stick

GUESSING THE STICK - "How many sticks" was a guessing game to test perception, intuition, and observation. It was played quietly by the children as the adults played their hand games. Any number of small straight sticks were gathered (at least 20) and put into a bundle to be held by one person. The bundle was divided and held in each hand then quickly shown to two other players who looked at the bundles before they were hidden or guessed. The object of the game was to estimate how many sticks were in each bundle. The one whose guess was exactly right was the winner. The winner of the guess is given one of the counting pegs. The winner of the game is when one person accumulates all three counting pegs. A GAME FOR ALL AGES

Each game comes with a bundle of approximately 20 sticks, tied in leather, 3 counting pegs hand carved and decorated with ribbons, beads and feathers, contained in a fleece bag.
