There are a number of methods of play, but basically your are stacking wooden sticks with a square cross section for points. Different colored sticks score different number of points.
There is a certain twist in that the stack of sticks is made on top of a cone with a flat top. The cone is high enough to guarantee that a falling stack of sticks will create a spectacular collapse!
The game came packaged in a can with metal ends and the sides made of paper.
