Jack Straws by Parker Brothers

SOHS# 80.34.377

In the game of Jack Straws, a pile of plastic or wood objects (axes, rifles, brooms, crutches

etc.) are dropped on the table. Players use metal hooks to extract an object from the pile,

without moving any other items. If they succeed they keep the item and try again. If they

move any object other than the one they attempt to pull out, their turn is over, and then it

is the next players turn. The winner is the person with the most items, once there are

none left in the pile.
