Variant B

Stick Trap – Game Instructions
 

Game Contents:

• 

• 1 Box with Lid
• 1 Die
• 32 Sticks

Game Setup:

• At the beginning of the game, the

  32 sticks are evenly distributed among all players.

• Any remaining sticks are set aside.

   

Game Objective:

• The first player to get rid of all their sticks wins.

   

Gameplay:

1. Players take turns rolling the die clockwise. Only one die is used at a time.
2. The player who first rolls a six begins the game.

3. The active player rolls the die and inserts one of their sticks into the hole in the box

   that corresponds to the number rolled:

   • Holes 1–5: The stick remains in the corresponding hole.
   • Hole 6: The stick falls through the box into the large compartment.
4. The player may continue rolling until:
   • They roll a six (the stick is thrown into the compartment).
   • Or they roll a number whose hole is already occupied by a stick. In this case, the player must take a stick back from the lid.

5. The game ends when a player has gotten rid of all their sticks.

    

Special Rules and Strategies:

• A player may roll the die as many times as they like in one turn to get rid of their sticks as quickly as possible.
• After rolling a six, the player may decide whether to continue rolling or to pass the die to the next player.
• If a player has only three or fewer sticks left, they may not pass the die. They must continue until they get rid of all their sticks or the game ends.
