Sand court roughly 12x4 meters with kyykkas arranged in a row at each end

HOW TO PLAY
1

Set up a row of small wooden blocks standing on end at each side of the sand court.

2

Teams take turns throwing wooden batons underhand from the opposite end, aiming to knock the opposing row's blocks out of the court.

3

Blocks knocked fully outside the court boundary are removed from play for the rest of that round.

4

Blocks that shift position but stay inside the court remain in play and must be knocked out on a later throw.

5

Continue alternating throws between teams until one side clears all of the opponent's blocks from the court.

6

The team that clears the opposing row first, or has fewer blocks remaining after an agreed number of rounds, wins.
