Games from Ireland
What games are particularly Irish?
Well, we've looked into this and we think that there is a short list that qualify as games from Ireland:
- Rings
- Irish Skittles (played with 5 pins)
- Croquet is, of course, supposed to have come from a game called Crookey in Northern Ireland
- Quoits - the Northern Irish play a particular version of the proper clay pit game
- Darts - the Irish have their own Darts board
- Fichneal or Fidchell was an Irish board game of equal sides played in the early second millenium
- Brandubb is a board game of the Tafl variety (unequal sides) that was played in Medieval times
- Hurling
- Gaelic Football
Let us know if you think there's something missing from this list.
