If you didn't understand the scoring system, here are rules from the official rule book! -Knocking over one pin scores the amount of points that is marked on the respective pin -Knocking over two or more pins scores the number of pins that were knocked over -A player that exceeds the score of 50, drops back to 25

The pins are numbered from 1 to 12 on their bevelled part. The throwing pin is 22.5cm (8.6inch) long and is also 5.9cm (2.3inch) in diameter." Per the website linked.
These two are very good at showing how the game works and REALLY quite funny. I love to hear their Finnish accent while they are speaking English ( and doing a mighty fine job of it!) They seem like very nice and friendly people and they make a lovely couple. Thank you very much for this video. Well done!
Usually it goes like this: 1. You buy a Mölkky set 2. You play it once 3. The set sits in storage next 10 years 4. Someone finally throws it into sauna furnace
@@JohnMichaelson coincidentally, I am still stewarding the croquet set that my late parents got for my sibling and me in the late 70s. We actually did play with it a number of times, though when we were younger - just like with our badminton set.
I have played Mölkky with pins made out of steel pipe pieces. Sounds horrible when you are trying to sleep and your neighbours are playing Mölkky outside :)
@@luppa79 Wind-Chime Mölkky Pipes. Hmm? I was thinking solid steel bars the same size as these wooden ones. Then in winter on the frozen lake, the challenge would be how to safely throw a Red-hot one. Either way, pipes or solid bars, I'd enjoy watching Lauri and Anni make a set from steel in their shop.👍🍻😀
I'm making three sets of Mölkky for Christmas in New Zealand. A nice summer game! I really love that I now know how to pronounce Mölkky in Finnish. Cool video thanks. A commercial set costs $89 in our money. I couldn't find low grade 50mm dowel and ended up paying $240 for 6m of handrail grade dowel. So I saved $9 per set for a lot more work than $27 savings. But it's the making that counts. As the pine I used is nice, I'll dye each pin and probably use spray polyurethane over that to protect the wood a bit. I also rounded all the edges so the pine isn't as likely to splinter from play. I'll probably make nice boxes too as I have some time. Most DIY plans call for really large dowel. I couldn't find 60mm or larger dowel but I am sure 50mm will work fine. The commercial set I saw is only 50mm. And we'll play at the beach so standing them up isn't a problem. My pins are 160mm long with a 45degree cut giving the short end 105mm. If anyone is making this with a hand saw, those are the lengths to mark for the cuts at alternating 90 and 45 degree cuts. A big compound mitre saw is better for my old arms. So at 36 pins (12 pins x 3 games) I have just enough dowel from 6m (3m x 2 lengths). I'm using some surplus old hickory shovel handles for the throwing sticks as I'm not paying another $120 for another length of dowel. It's only 35mm but who cares as it weighs about the same as the 50mm pine. Lastly, I hate buying wood. I try to only use free wood like pallets for my small projects (know what your doing before using any old pallet btw...pallets can be a real pain, can be super crappy wood, and can possibly be toxic, so be warned and learn a bit about how to source them wisely. But there are some really good ones out there for free too). I also like unpainted/untreated offcuts of house trim from building sites. I have some builder friends who set it aside. Most builders hate throwing away good wood. Anyway, if a person has a decent table saw (mine is broken), one can make laminated square stock from boards, then use the table saw at a 45 degree mitre and make octagonal pins. That's how I'd have done the project if my 1940's table saw hadn't just died recently. If one sands octagonal corners, it'll be round enough for the game and it's a cheep way to get the prefered 60mm thick pins. If anybody read all of this, you are as boring as me. Great company I think.
Saw the video last week. Ordered a set from Amazon. It arrived Sunday. The set was in a Molkky wooden case, inside a Tactic (manufacturer) cardboard box which was inside an Amazon cardboard box. Protect that wood. The scoring is similar to British dart games, so I don't see a problem. Another game where you throw things while drinking alcohol. But less pointy.
I used to sell these Mölkky sets to families when I used to work at Australian Geographic. They're surprisingly popular here in Australia during the summer holidays.
Now that is a devious game and I love it! The fact that the pins get set up where they fall is genius... Summer is finally here Anni has her shorts on:)
Thank you, that was pretty awesome. I'm French from Canada now living in the USA and I have never heard of that. I'm going to make me a set of those, that looks pretty fun. I might make it out of steel tube, I like the sound of metal on metal. Pretty satisfying. Thank you Anni & Lauri.
I wanted to take the time and say thank you to the both of you. And I'm sure you might want to know why we'll because watching the both of you together is wonderful your happy and enjoying your time learning together and your also one of the reasons we started are own channel. I hope you both have many blessings and your able to help many
It looks like, for the setup, you start by putting the two-digit numbers in the middle, and then you put the one-digit numbers around them. Easy-peasy.
We found an app that counted the score for us. Also kept track of the misses. Don't know what it was called since it's not on my phone, but shouldn't be too hard to find. As well as a store bought version, we have a homemade one that has rectangular pegs instead of cylinders, makes the game a bit different since they bounce around differently.
Fill empty beer cans with sand and use a marker to write the numbers. Only takes half a case of beer to get started and the other half of the case gets consumed during the game. Sounds like fun. 🍻👍
You are two of my favorite people. We used to play a similar Swedish game called "Kubb." You guys should make a set and play!!! It's really fun (and we all want to see Laurie lose 🤣).
For anyone going "what game did Anni say it was like?" Petanque! Also known as Bocce, Bowls, etc. This reminds me a lot of bowling actually. And as an aside, back in 2008 I brought two checked in bags to the US from Belgium. 1 had a petanque set, the other had a hilariously cheap sword I bought for 8 Euro. (Closer examination it looks like just a piece of flat stock cut slightly into shape). The Petanque set got searched by the TSA, the sword did not.
I've never seen that game before, it looks really good fun for the summer. I love the twist that the pins get stood up, but not moved, so things spread out. 6:28 - Anni, I would have hit the 8, really really hard so it end up 20 meters away! 7:58 - You read my mind! Epic summer drinking game!
Lawn darts are illegal in Canada. The current Prime Minister was arrested for their possession in the past. My family played with them a lot when I was growing up.
We also have a Mölkki here, its a pretty fun game. We bought it after we saw it on a TV show here in Germany. It's also interesting if you play on grass, because the pins fall down more easily.
The two words you were looking for, in context: "Always throw underhand; don't throw overhand." (Unless you're playing the army version - then you're launching the Mölkky like a shot putter.)
Finska is a Swedish trade mark - a copy. Mölkky is the original name, this game was invented in Finland. It's like by the British changing Sydney's name to Au Stralian, saying they want to call it that from now on, and spreading that verison to other countries - so the Kiwis, Americans, and South Africans etc. would tell you Australians: 'We call Sydney Au Stralian,' showing it for you in their maps :)
That word for the throwing pin “Murko”.... doesn’t that mean “monster”? I think I remember that from your hockey videos, cause of that player Marko. 🧐😁 nice video!!
Looks like a fun game, it is similar to a game we have here in the U.S but ours is called corn hole and we use bean bags yeah it is fun to play! Have a good one guys see ya next time and have a great day:D
How about harder version of the game where pins are, say, 10 metres away...or normal distance with the numers facing backwards so that you have to remember where they all are?
Nice game! Never heard of this game before. I'm not sure I completely get the scoring when you knock down more than one but I will look it up! Do people there play horseshoes game at all?

Lauri needs to make a STEEL version. Then you could play regular Steel on ground, or Red-Hot Steel version on frozen lake in the winter.
That's an awesome idea
Hahhaha! Great idea Don! 😀

You two are too cute! Thank you for the video. I just bought this for my daughter’s 24th birthday party.
This looks fun! I'm going to try to buy this and play it in the park with friends. Thank you for sharing, Anni!
This is awesome!! I dont know why I've never seen this growing up with so many Finlanders.
That game looks like a lot of fun!! Perfect for a backyard barbecue!!!
thanks so much for sharing your culture. It's really neat to see different European cultures.
I loved this video; you two are hilarious :-)
I need to try this on my next camping trip! Looks like so much fun and requires less space than other “throwing” games. Love ❤️ from Canada
Yep, it´s a perfect camping trip game! :)
Anni Vuohensilta just ordered it :).
I liked watching and learning about this new game to me... It was fun.... maybe I introduce friends here in Alaska to Mölkky...
Looks like a fun game! Fun video. 😁💗

Cool!! got to try this here in Illinois 👍👍
I was a Finn in a past life- now I'm watching the Kyykkä Championships
If the wood blocks are too light weight, leave them out to garden for a few days. Finnish summer makes them heavier (rain).
But you must play even when it is raining because it is summertime. :-)
thanks, that was pretty good :) hope you guys are having a good summer 👍
Loved the video, never heard of this game before.
Nice! My friend & I were just looking to get a yard game to play & now I've found it. Gonna buy a Mölkky set. Kittos!
I think you can find it on Amazon! 😀
Very cool, think I will try to make a set! I can see this catching on with my friends. As a side note 😜 damn Lauri you done good catching Anni!🤠👍

As long as they fall down, and move from the original setting, things work :)
8 meters seems like a more challenging distance, but that looks fun at least
In the Midwest, we have "bags" or "Cornhole" it's very similar in practice, but simpler in design... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornhole
One could go to the nearest home improvement store and get some stair handrail and cut it up. Looks to be a similar size.
Fill empty beer cans with sand and use a marker to write the numbers. Only takes half a case of beer to get started and the other half of the case gets consumed during the game. Sounds like fun. 🍻👍

This is a great game, In Australia it is known as Finska

Nice game! Never heard of this game before. I'm not sure I completely get the scoring when you knock down more than one but I will look it up! Do people there play horseshoes game at all?
If you knock down more than one, you count the amount of the fallen pins. For example 5 fallen pins = 5 points. If just one falls, then number of pin!
