Color coding

I put the color coding and points info in the 'Rules' paragraphs in a table, but I'm wondering about the color coding. All pictures of Mikado games I can find have the sticks coded with 2, 3 or 5 stripes of alternating red, blue and yellow (red/blue, red/yellow/blue, blue/red/blue, red/blue/red/blue/red, and the spiraling blue of the Mikado). Who knows the actual 'classic' coloring, and what "middle wide two narrow stripes on the ends" means? -Shai-kun 17:11, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

The color codes in the table don't match the pictures either. Our game has the colors in the pictures, not the table. Does anyone know the points for the ones in the pictures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Broecher (talk • contribs) 02:28, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

A particular sentence...

This sentence under the Rules section doesn't seem to make sense: "It is allowed to stand up on but not to leave the own place." Am I missing something here? 68.186.170.188 (talk) 18:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I have the game, I bought it in Russia. On the wooden box it says MIKADO SPIEL". The rules where quite hard to understand from the horrible spelling and grammar but here they are:

Mikado : 20 points Rod with yellow rings : 10 (x5) Rod with blue rings: 5 (x5) Rod with red rings: 3 (x15) Rod with green rings 2 (x15)

Total amount of point (from all rods): 170 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.123.14 (talk) 13:43, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Zitterwackel

"Maybe in the course of Japonism in the 19th / 20th century the "Zitterwackel" game had changed to "Mikado" (probably first named "Tsuchimikado")."

What is a Zitterwackel? --46.59.142.230 (talk) 14:37, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
