Askelkyykyt

Askelkyykyt is a traditional Inuit game played in the Canadian Arctic, particularly in the communities of Nunavut. The game is played by two teams, each consisting of four players. The objective of the game is to score points by throwing a small wooden disc, called an askelkyykyt, into a small hole in the ground. The hole is typically about 15 centimeters in diameter and is dug by the opposing team before the game begins.

The game is played on a flat surface, usually a frozen lake or a large snow-covered area. The players take turns throwing the askelkyykyt from a designated distance, usually about 10 meters. The team that scores the most points by getting the askelkyykyt into the hole wins the game.

Askelkyykyt is an important part of Inuit culture and is often played during community gatherings and celebrations. The game requires skill, strategy, and teamwork, and it is a great way for Inuit communities to come together and strengthen their bonds.
