About the Game
An early variant of Jack Straws dated 1920. This version uses a thin horseshoe shaped magnet to pick up various garden tools (Axes, rakes, etc.) The garden tools have metal handles.
The game is played by taking all of the garden tools at once and dropping them 2 inches above a table so that they will fall into a random pile.
The objective is to remove a garden tool one at a time without disturbing (moving) any of the other pieces. The player continues to go until he/she inadvertently moves a piece other than the one they were attempting to retrieve, in which case it is the next players turn to go.
Various garden tools have different points:
- Plain straws .... 1 - Bent straws ..... 3 - Square Mauls .... 5 - Mallets ......... 7 - Rakes ........... 10 - Picks ........... 15 - Cooper's Adze ... 17
