Read the full game description

Tasso, also published as Lakota, is an abstract game in which each player starts the game with the same number of sticks. On a turn, a player lays one of their sticks on the game board or on sticks already present on the game board; whenever a player lays a stick on two sticks already laid, they immediately take another turn. Whoever first places all of their sticks on the game board wins!
