Mölkky

It is reminiscent of kyykkä, a centuries-old throwing game with Karelian roots.

However, Mölkky does not require as much physical strength as kyykkä, and is more suitable for everyone regardless of age and condition.

A player will be eliminated from the game if they miss all of the numbered pins three times in a row.

[4] The Finnish championships for mölkky have been organised in Lahti since 1997 by the union of youth clubs in Southern Tavastia.

The technology students in Tampere organised world championships in academic Mölkky in 2001.

The Finnish Mölkky Union has been formed to promote the game and its subculture.
