Kyykkä – Karelian skittles

Karelian skittles, kyykkä, is an old Karelian game that is known in many parts of Karelia and its nearby regions. 

The Skittles Club of the Karelian Cultural Society plays in Seurasaari in Helsinki where everyone is welcome to try the game. The Skittles Club can also arrange events for companies and private parties. Karelian societies have competed in championships in Seurasaari since 1951. The Skittles Club organises games from January until October, in summertime on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and during weekends in other times.
