iPickStick is a puzzle game for two human players and one human player vs the computer . Several matchsticks are placed in a line and players take turns removing one, two, three or four matches from the line. You cant take any more than four matches on any one turn, you have to take at least one, and you can put any back.Tap a stick to pick,tap again to unpick. The object is to force your opponent to take the last match.
Its more of a puzzle than a game, for if one player knows the secret, it is either difficult or impossible for the other player to win, depending on how the game starts.

For this version of the game, the computer "knows" the secret. It is a puzzle, therefore, to figure out how to beat it. When you discover the secret, you can play the game against an unwitting friend and flaunt your ability to win it repeatedly.

Modes of Play:-

In "Multiplayer", you may play a game with another person In "Single Player",you can play against a computer simulated opponent.
