Archers
A steady hand and a 20/20 vision are the features of a good archer. The bow has been modernized through time and replaced by a crossbow. Arrows remained the same, and the goal still hasn’t changed – to hit the smallest circle of the target as many times as possible. The centennial tradition of archery is a unique opportunity for competitors of the City Games to experience the spirit of the Middle Ages.
Donkey Race
Donkeys are very stubborn and willful by nature, but also very noble and hardworking. A donkey will follow its owner only if he leads it down the right path. If he deviates from the path even slightly, he will evoke the donkey’s stubbornness, which will make it difficult for the owner to put him back on track. This game that usually results in a lot of laughter requires good guidance skills and good mutual communication.
Paddle
Since the beginning of time paddling was vital discipline to master for traveling and fishing on sea, lakes or rivers. In the “Paddle” game, competitors are fighting to pull the rival team thus proving their superiority. Strength, team spirit and synchronised movements are distinguishing the winners in this game. The physically strenuous and demanding game unleashes the competitive spirit among competitors which is best manifested through the players’ emotions during this game.
