Mikadodo is a game originally played by American Indians with dodobones and thaught to the pioneers who settled the country. This was also the reason why the European settlers never found any Dodos in America, they became extinct after the All American championships.


'Pioneer Pick-Up Sticks'


You need all the bones of one bird to come up to a total of forty two sticks, about as long as a hand. Thaught by the Indians, sailors brought it back to Mauritius when they rediscovered the Dodo.


The pioneering colonists played the game extensively. They set up the National championships. And after the finals they decided the International championships would mean big business. Eventually they made loads of Mikadodo sticks for export. And again the Dodos became the great losers in this game.
