8. Tchung-kee A.K.A. Chunkey
One of the least violent games on the list was played by Native Americans. The tradition does not seem to be exclusive to one Native tribe but does seem to be limited to the Eastern region of the United States. There are instances of the Cherokee practicing this sport as well as many other Native groups. Chunkey, also known as Tchung-kee was a game where one player would roll a large disc-shaped stone on the ground, while the others threw their spears at it, trying to hit a moving target.
There was a smooth, paved clay playing area almost like a very long driveway to make sure the disc rolled as smoothly as possible. The origins have been traced back to the Cahokia region 600CE, in what is now known as Mississippi, United States. One of the only potentially dangerous parts about this game was that people were known to gamble their life savings over the results.
