| Description | Leik mjul ("play ball") was a game played on the island of Runo (now "Ruhnu" and part of Estonia). Little is known about it, but some suggest that it was like rounders. Edwin Mehl wrote in 1949 that this game evolved from a game taught to locals by the crew of a British ship stranded on the island in 1846. There are indications that it was still played in 1920. Historically occupied by Swedes, the island was transferred to Estonia after World War II. Isak Lidstrom, a graduate student at Malmo University in Sweden, reports in March 2016 that he is conducting research on the game.
