FIND YOUR INNER VIKING

Forget hygge – the new Nordic word of the moment is friluftsliv. Translating as ‘outdoor living’, the concept embraces Scandinavia’s love of time outdoors, including games played in gardens and parks. Try your hand at Kubb, often called Viking chess, which involves knocking over wooden blocks by throwing wooden sticks at them (harder than it sounds), or level up to Mölkky and add a bit of numerical brain-training to the stick throwing.
