The Games
Originating in Scotland and eventually becoming a Winter Olympic sport in 1998, ice curling is a strategic blend of precision, teamwork, and icy finesse. To play, two teams take turns sliding heavy granite stones toward a bullseye-like target (called the "house").
The Games
Duckpin bowling originated in Baltimore, Maryland, in the early 1900s. A variation of traditional tenpin, it uses smaller balls without finger holes and shorter pins that are tougher to knock down—making strikes much harder and scoring more challenging. The game blends skill and luck with a fast-paced, fun twist on classic bowling.
The Games
Axe throwing has roots in ancient civilizations, but its modern revival as a sport began in Canada in the early 2000s. Inspired by lumberjack traditions, players take turns throwing small axes at wooden targets marked with concentric circles, aiming for the bullseye—combining a bit of strength with surprising precision and control.
The Games
Sapo is a traditional South American bar game. The name "sapo" means "toad" in Spanish, referencing the metal frog placed at the center of the game board. Players toss small coins or tokens onto a raised board filled with holes, aiming to land them in the frog's mouth or other point-scoring slots—blending chance, skill, and centuries-old charm.
The Games
Aim. Throw. Detonate. Inspired by the classic Colombian game of Tejo, Detonante combines skill, competition, and an explosive payoff when you hit the target just right.
