Jack Straws This very old game has entertained children for a long time. Originally played using lengths of straw that were gathered together & then allowed to fall onto a heap & then the skill was to remove pieces of straw one at a time without any other straw moving! The game has developed over the years but the version from the 1950s perhaps has the most nostalgic appear of all of them. Enjoy it & have fun! Itt comes in great retro packaging & makes a wonderful gift, perfect for bringing a family together during the festive season.
