Gorodki ((ロシア語:Городки), ''townlets''; (スウェーデン語:Poppi)) is an ancient Russian folk sport whose popularity has spread to Karelia, Finland, Sweden, Ingria, Lithuania, and Estonia. Similar in concept to bowling and also somewhat to horseshoes, the aim of the game is to knock out groups of skittles arranged in various patterns by throwing a bat at them. The skittles, or pins, are called ''gorodki'' (literally ''little cities'' or ''townlets''), and the square zone in which they are arranged is called the ''gorod'' (''city''). In Scandinavian and Baltic languages, the game has many different names, such as ''kurnimäng'', ''kriuhka'', ''köllöi'', ''keili'', and ''miestučiai''. The Finnish variant is called ''kyykkä'', or Finnish skittles. The game is mentioned in the Old Russian Chronicles and was known in a form that is quite close to the modern one at least from the 17th century, since one of the famous gorodki players was young Peter I of Russia.〔(The history of gorodki ) at gorodki.org 〕 ==Gameplay== The game consists of throwing a bat from a predetermined distance at the ''gorodki'', which are arranged in one of 15 configurations: cannon (, ''pushka''), fork (, ''vilka''), star (, ''zvezda''), arrow (, ''strela''), well (, ''kolodets''), crankshaft (, ''kolenchatyy val''), artillery (, ''artilleriya''), raquet (, ''raketka''), machine gun installation (, ''pulemyotnoe gnezdo''), lobster (, ''rak''), watchmen (, ''chasovye''), sickle (, ''serp''), shooting gallery (, ''tir''), airplane (, ''samolet''), and letter (, ''pis'mo'').
