Mikado Magnetico is a board game released in 1988 for 2–4 players and ages 6 and up.
This is a variant on the classic Mikado (Pick up sticks). To pick up the sticks you use a special magnetized device - the 'sticks stick to the magnetized stick'.
Mikado Magnetico supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Mikado Magnetico for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Mikado Magnetico has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
