How do you score in this game? How do you win? Why the different patterns? IceDragon64 02:12, 6 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
- Please see Suomen Kyykkäliitto's (Finnish Kyykkä Union) [1] Official Kyykkä Rules page for English and German translations, but please note also that the game is ancient. Many local variations do exists. Suomen Kyykkäliitto uses the word 'skittles' for translation to 'kyykkä'. Skittles, kyykkä and gorodki are all very similar games, but the rules differ, sometimes from a village to village. -- 212.213.204.99 (talk) 21:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
- BBC has a bit more 'realistic' kyykkä rules page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A863336
- Basically this nails it: "In Finland today, there are two distinct groups playing the game: 1. People having their roots in Karelia. 2. Students using it as an excuse for drinking beer". See also the important 'Kyykkä Etiquette' part. -- 212.213.204.99 (talk) 21:46, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
