Varpa

Varpa is a traditional Scandinavian throwing game, especially associated with the Swedish island of Gotland, in which players toss a lead or stone disc (the varpa) at a target stake from a set distance, similar in spirit to horseshoes or bocce. It dates back centuries and is still played competitively at Gotland's annual medieval-themed games. The activity emphasizes precision and is tied closely to regional folk heritage.
