About the game
Roll, match, stick! As you might guess from the title, Sticky Stickz includes a bunch of Sticky Sticks, one for each player – and what does one do with a Sticky Stick? Stick things, of course! The game board consists of plastic wells in the bottom of the box, with each well holding a number of tiles; each tile shows 1-3 faces in one of three colors with one of three facial expressions. For each round, someone rolls the three dice – color die, number die, facial expression die – then everyone simultaneously tries to grab any tiles that match one or more of the dice by sticking those tiles with their Sticky Stick. Once all the matching tiles have been claimed, you roll the dice again and stick some more. Once a certain number of wells are empty, players compare their stacks of tiles and the player with the tallest stack wins.

Questions and answers
Sticky Stickz supports 2–5 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 listed playing time for Sticky Stickz is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Sticky Stickz for ages 8 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.
Sticky Stickz 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.
