We Finns played the game at Volga river way before conquering Finland. The viking part is indeed a marketing scam. ![Razz](./modules/PNphpBB2/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif) |
Kubb doesn't in any way include mandatory drinking, fighting or knife fighting. Therefor I find your claims to be extremly unlikely. |
Kyykkä does not include alcohol, neither does it include knife fights. That's where the Swedish/Danish viking part comes in to meddle.
AFAIK, kyykkä used to be a peaceful sport played at traditional festivals, as well as a way of "proving our tribe is better than yours" without bloodshed. |

Looks like a nice sport. I never heard of Kubb before. |
