Jonchets

The sticks were originally made of rush, but later also from wood, bone or ivory.

Jonchets can be played by 2 to 4 players, with 30 to 40 sticks at a length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in).

In jonchets, some sticks may have carved heads that denote different point values.

Mikado is a simplified variation that may have been directly inspired by jonchets.

"Jonchets" were the name of a stick abacus calcus form in France with Asian background.
