jackstraws
Steady-hand stick game
Jackstraws is a game where thin sticks or straws are dropped in a heap, and players take turns trying to remove one at a time without disturbing the others.
The sticks themselves are also called jackstraws.
Figuratively, things in jackstraws are in disarray: The fallen branches lay in jackstraws across the yard.
