Ampumahiihtopeli (0)

Ampumahiihtopeli (translation from Finnish: The Biathlon game) is about biathlon, the combination of cross-country skiing and shooting targets. The players compete to be the first to reach the goal line, by moving along a track on the board. In individual competition, each player will visit the shooting range twice and at each time try to hit all the five targets at their slot on the range. Shooting takes place through rolling the die, and trying to hit the numbers 1-2-3-4-5, in any sequence, per time at the shooting range. For each miss, the player will have to do an extra penalty lap. The game, along with the cover picture, was approved by SAhL (Finnish Biathlon Association) with the SAhL logo and a signed endorsement from the then executive director Pauli Swanljung on the box front, and probably originates from late 1970s - early 1980s.
