A traditional game from milaniwood.com. It creates a dual gift that combines the popular game of Shanghai and an innovative design furnishing accessory for people who love shades of blue. The pieces are made with wood from forests managed using a socially and environmentally responsible approach.
The 40 cm long sticks are made of hornbeam wood that is then coloured. By using the ring provided, they become a symbolic bunch of flowers when not in play.
Includes: 1 wooden ring, 50 wooden sticks in 5 colours, inspired by light and darkness (all wood) and instructions
Skills: Concentration and fine motor skills
This 2-4 player game is for ages 4+.
Let the sticks fall randomly onto the table. The first player removes a stick by hand or using another stick, but without moving any others. If a stick moves, the next player goes.
The winner is the player with the most points when all the sticks have been taken.

Note from the designer Fabio Guaricci: "But why is that so important for a toy to be attractive for adults too? First, think about the last time you gave yourself a chance to play and, surprisingly, thought “Hey, that’s fun!”. Well, this is probably because we are said that “adults have to work, not to play”. So sometimes adults really forget about playing for ages, and, even worse, play itself is even considered something “childish”. Second, if adults are not willing to play, what about the extra learning-value of kids playing with adults? Shanghai is a hybrid object that changes its function depending on the intention of the user. As a toy it is a traditional chinese game, very easy rules, it requires concentration and very good fine motor skills. When it is not played, its wooden ring allows to compose its sticks to form a furniture accessory similar to a bunch of flowers."
Made in Italy.
