Zitternix

 

A surprising variant of Mikado – the sticks are bundled in a wooden ring and stood upright – then players roll the die and pull a stick in the colour rolled out of the ring. The bundle or sticks may move. The game ends, when the bundle falls and the wooden ring touches the tabletop. This player has lost, all others add the value of their sticks, the player with the highest sum wins. If the bundle does not tumble, the game ends when three sticks are left in the ring.
