Canoe polo is heaps of fun, I used to play a lot in high school. Has a price barrier tho, and pretty limited strategy

>>74433376
Forgot the title. 2 teams have an area and have one person go into the other team's area to tag them. But, the tagger has to hold their breath while in the opponet's area

Real Tennis, which is what modern tennis is based off. There's barely any courts left in the world.

>>74442238

Is that similar to squash, that you can use the side walls to bounce off then?

>>74442273
Pretty sure, yeah. I saw a game a few years back at Lords when I was visiting London. I remember that you had to serve by rolling the ball along a sloped wall into the opponents court and to win you needed to hit the ball into a white square on the back wall or something like that.

>>74441615
*eurobeat intensifies*

But seriously, Speedway is a pretty enjoyable motorsport to watch. For me it comes second only to Moto GP.

this game is very popular apparently but I can't never remember its international name. you throw a small ball somewhere on the playing field and then you and your team-mates try to roll or throw your balls (lel) as close as possible to the small one. Every player has 2 balls.
I know this sport isn't obscure at all, but I honestly believed at one point. I was fucking shocked when I saw it on Eurosport and it was like France vs England. Until then I believed it was just something old dalmatian people from croatia play.

question for italians:
do you know of a game where you are playing with your fingers, you play against someone. You both have to show a number of fingers and say a number, which would be a sum of fingers from both of you?.
i am asking because in this game we use italian numbers, but when I asked some italians i knew irl they had no idea what I was tlking about.
