About Sahkku, from BoardGameGeek:

In the northern regions known as Scandinavia live the indigenous Sami people. They play a running fight game called Sahkku. It's popularity there is shown by the annual championship games and prestigious trophies they give to the winners. The game may be as old as 1,000 years or more, and simulates a battle between two groups of warriors. These warriors start the game asleep, and before they can enter the battle they must be awakened by a specific role of the dice. Thereafter, they move and capture opposing pieces by ending their turn on an occupied space. The path can be blocked by opposing pieces, sending them back to their starting row. There's also a fickle King with special powers in the game, who joins up with either side when captured. A very different kind of game - one of only a few known to history -description from the publisher

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

Another historic classic from the Peg Pastimes collection: https://newventuregames.com/products/sahkku-deluxe The indigenous Sami people were called "Laplanders" for centuries, and this board game has challenged and entertained them for many generations. It's a war game of the type called "Running Fight" in which two opposing groups of Soldiers meet in conflict on a linear battlefield. A very interesting form, enhanced by a powerful (but fickle) King, and sometimes a pair of Queens! Also available in a "travel" version from NewVenture.
