So, I just got into playing it irl, bought a decent set online, and it didn't come with enough scoring sticks for a full 30,000 per player game...

So anyway, I've been playing 27,500 for now, but I wanted to buy some more sticks.

Of course, I know where I can buy them online, but I was actually looking for scoring sticks other than the standard kinds.


So far, I've found white w/ colored dots, black w/ white dots, and cow bone sticks.

Anyone here know where to find unique/cool looking scoring sticks? Or maybe just the coolest looking sticks you've ever found?

You might want to re-post your threads there?

I've seen some primary-coloured scoring sticks but I'm not a fan. I like the elegant traditional white ones. Personally I think quality is more important than colour.

25,000 pts is a pretty common starting score for Japanese games so you'd have more than enough for that. 27,000 is sometimes used too.

Sometimes you can start with 25k but then, at the end, say that technically the players had a 30k buy-in in which case the excess points (20k total in that case) form a jackpot called the Oka that goes to the game winner.

Pick Up Sticks is a great yet simple game that helps kids learn to count when scoring and improves their manual dexterity. A typical Pick Up Sticks set contains 50 multi-colored sticks made of wood, plastic or metal. All the sticks either have a number of rings around the center, which indicates the point value or they are color coded. It is a simple game to play with children of any age. Grandparents will especially love teaching their grandchildren how to play this fun game
