nostalgic goodiesFeb 02, 2007

These pick up sticks are fun to play with no matter how old the players are. The qualities are not bad, and the handy caddie is well built too. Shipping fast.

 Pick Up SticksAug 01, 2007
By Ethel Sodia
I was very satisfied with the quality of the product. It arrived ahead of the time it was promised. I purchased these for my grandchildren, who are having a lot of fun. The toy really helps with hand-eye coordination.

 DisappointedFeb 03, 2010
By Upper Left Hand Corner
I am an old guy - 67 years old. I was trying to capture a part of my childhood by purchasing a game/novelty that used to captivate me when I was a child. The pick_up_sticks of my childhood were shorter, lighter, and significantly thinner than these. The game of my childhood had a light, natural wood color. The wood was finished and varnished. The 1950's pick_up_sticks had sharp points, which were useful to use as a tool to pickup other sticks. (The points of my current purchase were dull.) The objective was to pick up as many sticks as possible with high point counts. The point count depended on the color of the stick. This game/novelty really didn't cut it. I was quite disappointed. Had I not been exposed to "the real thing," I might have been satisfied with these. But, alas, I had been previously exposed to the "real thing." It could be that our society's obsession with safety (sharp points, etc.) may be the culprit here. Sigh.

A great way to increase concentration and coordinationJan 12, 2008
By Barbara Pakenham
I got these pick-up sticks for my grandchildren at Christmas. They were a great hit, from the youngest to the oldest. They help increase coordination, small muscle control and concentration. A fine product and they are sturdy enough to last a long time.

Just as we were hoping forAug 01, 2008
By Sunny in CA
This is a fun game for all ages, great family game. The sticks are bigger than what we were used to, but that's not a problem. The wood gives it a classic feel, and provides much better play than other products made of cheap plastic (avoid those!). The wood looks kind of old and worn, but I think that's intentional in this product. Product shipped reasonably fast. Overall, great product and excellent price, I'm going to buy several more to give as gifts.
