🛠 About the Product / Function

Mikado is all about steady hands and focus. The sticks are held in one hand and released to fall randomly on the table. Players then take turns picking up sticks one by one without moving the others. The highest-value stick is called the ‘Mikado’ — Japanese for emperor. If any other sticks move, the turn ends and points are counted.

A timeless game that combines dexterity with tension and fun, perfect for rainy afternoons or game nights.
