[Regia-NA] Fw: medieval game

[wjy851 at mail.usask.ca]

Some friends & I used to play a game called Kales, it's like bowling but you
throw a heavy stick at the pins rather than rolling a ball. A friend found a
16th century German woodcut depicting the game being played, I can't say
whether or not it dates back to the Viking Age though.
