About the Game

A pile of plastic or wood objects (axes, rifles, brooms, crutches etc.) are dumped on the table. Players use metal hooks to extract an object from the pile, without moving any other items. If they succeed they keep the item and try again. If they move any object other than the one they attempt to pull out, their turn is over, and then it is the next players turn.

The winner is the person with the most items, once there are none left in the pile.
