Play offline with no internet connection required and no adverts! Pickout can be played by 2-6 players. Pickout Classic is played by passing the device to each player in turn for them to complete their counter by randomly selecting a coloured disc from the Pickout bag.

Pickout demonstrates the rule of probability by accurately reducing the chance of selecting your chosen coloured disc as more discs are collected from the bag.
