**Pick up a stick. Don't wake the pile.**
Remember gathering around the table as a kid, holding your breath, trying to pull that one stick without moving the others? That moment of pure focus — where the whole room goes quiet and everyone watches your hand — is one of those timeless childhood memories that never truly fades.
That feeling is back, right in the palm of your hand.
Sticks HD brings the beloved classic game of Pick-up Sticks — also known as Mikado or Pega Varetas — to iPhone and iPad with beautiful wooden visuals, smooth precision touch controls, and the same nail-biting tension you remember from childhood. This is not just a digital remake. It is a love letter to one of the most enduring games ever created.
**Simple to learn. Impossible to put down.**
The rules have not changed in centuries — and that is exactly the point. A pile of colorful sticks falls to the board. Your job is to remove them one at a time without disturbing the others. Each color carries a different point value. The steadier your hand and the sharper your eye, the higher your score climbs.
There are no tutorials, no complicated onboarding screens, and no menus to get lost in. You open the app and you play. Within seconds you are already in the zone — focused, calm, and completely hooked.
**Built for the moments that matter.**
Waiting for a flight? Killing five minutes between meetings? Lying on the couch on a quiet Sunday afternoon? Sticks HD is the perfect companion for any moment you want to unwind without fully switching off your brain.
Calm enough to relax you after a long day. Competitive enough to keep you coming back to beat your personal best. Simple enough to hand to a child or a grandparent without any explanation needed. This is the kind of game that does not demand your attention — it earns it.
**A game designed with care.**
Every detail in Sticks HD has been crafted with the same patience the game itself demands. The wooden board feels warm and real. The sticks move with satisfying weight. The interface stays completely out of your way so nothing breaks the spell of concentration.
No flashy animations to distract you. No aggressive notifications begging you to return. Just the game, the sticks, and your steady hand.
