In this classic game of skill and a steady hand, slow and steady definitely wins the race! The object is to use the metal hook to pick up as many of the "straw" shapes as possible WITHOUT moving any of the other straw shapes. If you move any of the other shapes, even if it is a little bit, you have to give up and let the next player try. The game doesn't end until every last straw has been successfully hooked and gathered. Then - it's time to count up your points! The ladders, wrenches, pitchforks, hockey sticks, shovels and more are assigned different point scores based on difficulty. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins! Includes 51 plastic straws and 1 metal hook, all in a lithographed storage bin. Instructions included. Ages 5 and up. Tin box measure about 5.75" x 4" x 2.5".
