Rullata

Rullata is a traditional Finnish game that is played during the Christmas season. The game is typically played outdoors on a snowy surface, and it is a popular activity among families and friends during the holiday period. The name "rullata" translates to "to roll" in English, which refers to the primary action involved in the game.

The game is played with a wooden dowel or stick, which is rolled along the snow-covered ground. Players take turns rolling the dowel, aiming to hit a target or reach a specific point. The target is usually a small object, such as a stone or a marker, placed a short distance away. The player who successfully hits the target or reaches the designated point first wins the game.

Rullata is a simple and enjoyable game that requires minimal equipment and can be played by people of all ages. It is a fun way to spend time outdoors during the winter months and is a cherished tradition in many Finnish households. The game also encourages physical activity and friendly competition, making it a popular choice for holiday gatherings and family events.
