Product Description The Tricky Sticky Card Game! This classic card and sticks game challenges your ability to recognise and transform shapes with rotation and mirroring. Taking turns, you each try to convert the current shape of the 5 sticks into a shape that matches one of your 5 cards by moving only one stick. It's not always possible and certainly not always easy, but the player who succeeds the most often wins the game. Directions 1. Shuffle the 55 cards and deal 5 to each player. 2. Place the remaining cards face down as a draw pile. 3. Take turns trying to convert the current shape of the 5 sticks into a shape that matches one of your 5 cards by moving only one stick. 4. If you succeed, keep your card and the sticks in their new shape. 5. If you can't make a match, take a card from the draw pile and end your turn. 6. The game ends when one player has successfully matched all their cards or when the draw pile is exhausted. The player with the most matched cards wins.
