## What is Sand Stick?

The sandbox game you played as a kid—take sand from a pile without knocking over the stick—is now a one-on-one duel.

A flag stands on top of a sand mountain. Take turns scooping a half-sphere of sand from anywhere you like. The sand you scoop is your score. Big scoops score big, but steep slopes slide, and a slide that starts far away can still bring the flag down.

Topple the flag and that move doesn't count—and 30% of the remaining sand goes to your opponent. How greedy can you be? Simple rules, a different battle of nerves every game.

HOW TO PLAY
• Choose a scoop size: Small, Medium or Large. Bigger scoops earn more and risk more
• The higher up the mountain, the smaller your scoop—play it fine near the flag
• Use Water to firm up the whole mountain so it slides less. It dries a step each turn, so timing is everything
• The game ends when the flag falls, when 10% or less of the sand is left, or when the score gap is bigger than the sand left. Higher score wins

FEATURES
• A 3D sand mountain that slides like real sand. Drag to rotate, pinch to zoom
• Dug areas get darker the deeper you go; slid sand piles up lighter, so you can read the mountain at a glance
• Play the CPU (Easy, Normal, Hard) or pass the device with a friend
• Records with win rates and recent games
• Dark Mode turns the beach to dusk
• English and Japanese
