Yard Game
Axe Throw
Implemented in the 2019 games, Axe Throw is a test of precision and skill. Similar to darts, but with bigger tools and targets, Axe Throw includes 7 implements: 3 silver axes, 2 black axes, and 2 knives. Teams throw the axes and knives at a wall of numbered logs to score 1-4 points each throw. Every player will throw all 7 implements, 3 times in the championships and twice in the consolations. Axe Throw is a Yard Game so 16 points are up for grabs if you claim the championship.
