Sticks is a pure strategy game with roots stretching back to 1899 . THE RULES Sticks is played with 15 matchsticks arranged in five rows of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. On your turn, take as many sticks as you want — but only from a single row. Whoever is forced to take the last stick loses. That's it. No randomness. Every game is a battle of pure logic. PLAY YOUR WAY • 1 Player — face an AI opponent that plays with mathematically optimal strategy. Can you find the one path to victory? • 2 Players — pass the phone and go head-to-head with a friend, no internet required. CHALLENGE MODE Sharpen your instincts with dozens of hand-crafted puzzles, from your first steps to the final boss. Each level bends the classic rules just enough to make you think differently. DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR Clean, minimal, and built for iPhone and iPad, in light or dark mode. Subtle haptics and sound bring every move to life without getting in your way. Sticks asks nothing of you but attention. Sit down, take a stick, and see who blinks first.
