Fingerhakeln is a game played in the Alpine regions of Austria and Germany.
Do you know: There is also a championship held annually for this game.
Fingerhakeln is played between two players, who sit in traditional Alpine dresses and place their middle fingers in a strap. The winner is required to pull his opponent over the table using just the middle finger and strap. This game originated from a custom, where locals would settle disputes by showing their opponents the middle fingers and inviting them to finger-pulling matches to settle the matter.
