Jack Straws*
A pile of plastic or wooden items (axes, guns, brooms, crutches, etc.) is tipped onto the table. Players use metal hooks to pull an item from the stack without moving others. If successful, they keep the item and try again; if they disturb another item, their turn ends and the next player goes. The winner is the player with the most items when the stack is empty.
