Was looking up Viking Era games and came across a few interesting sites.

I'm quite interested in Glima. They even had Glima matches to the death inwhich they played near a large stone and the object was to throw your opponent on to it and kill him.
Very interesting stuff, anyone ever participate in any games practiced by our ancestors?
Man after reading over a lot of the info on Glima just makes me itch for a wrestling match...
