DIY Mikado

Hi! My favorite games are probably Monopoly and Mikado, even though I never owned a Mikado game. This made me make my own. It turned out to be a lot of work, painting 41 sticks in different colors!



What you will need:

  • 41 sticks
  • acrylic paint
  • tape
How to proceed:
  1. Choose color pairs for each type (five).
  2. Tape in the places where you will paint.
  3. Start painting.
  4. Let it dry.
The Sticks:

There are different types of sticks.

Mikado:
  • There is only one Mikado Stick.
  • It gives you twenty points.


Mandarin:
  • There are five Mandarin Sticks.
  • They give you ten points.


Bonzen:
  • There are also five Bonzen Sticks.
  • They give you five points.


Samurai:
  • There are 15 Samurai Sticks.
  • They give you three points.


Kuli:
  • There are 15 Kuli Sticks as well.
  • They give you two points.


How to play:
  1. Take all the sticks in one hand and let them fall.
  2. Now try to take stick after stick without letting other sticks wiggle. If a stick happens to shake, its the others turn.
  3. The game is over when there aren't any sticks left.
  4. Now count the points together and see who the winner is! Congratulations!!!
