About this toy

Alak-dolak is a traditional Iranian outdoor game played with two sticks: a long one for striking and a short one that is flicked into the air and hit as far as possible. Similar stick games are played in many countries. This set contains a 60 cm striking stick and a 15 cm short stick with tapered ends, both made from light softwood with rounded edges and a clear finish. The short stick is lighter than traditional hardwood versions, which makes the game a little safer for families. The rules sheet explains a simple version for beginners and the traditional scoring game, and it suggests safe distances between players.

Safety

For ages 8 and over, outdoors only, with adult supervision. The short stick flies fast and can injure eyes or faces: keep all other players at least 5 metres away and behind the striker. Never play near windows, cars or roads. This is a traditional game with real risk of injury if rules are ignored.
