Today the State owned game operator Svenska spel regulate much of the gambling business in Sweden. Although regulated some people obviously find themselves in addiction. Also in the olden days games could be a risky thing, especially when money was involved. Travelling with my wife this summer we stopped at Källunge to watch the famous reliefs by the church door. The church is one of the older stone churches on Gotland, but have been rebuilt already in the Medieval period as most of them. The reliefs consists of beautiful medieval scenes (14th century) of musicians, dancing goats or (as in the picture below) a knife fight over the gambling table. For those of you visiting Gotland it is really worth a stop if you are passing by.
