Jugger has surfaced in China

中国扎格联盟

作为中国的JuggerZero,我来写一篇中文文章。

Shamanovsky, Jugger zero Russia大家好,我叫谭泉,生活在中国北方的一个城市,天津。

2016年接触到扎格,点燃了我的英雄梦。我开始查询资料,制作武器,组织玩家,最终体验到了扎格的乐趣。
 

与游戏不同,在游戏中屠龙打怪兽已经习以为常,然而第一次拿着武器站在一个只比你高半头的人面前,那种临场感不由得让人肾上腺素飙升,只能听见自己的心跳声。随着作战经验的增长,从一个新兵向老兵的转变,不再畏惧对手,更多的注意力转移到如何配合队友完成任务。无论是一次合作击杀还是保护球手上垒得分,都值得一个GIVE ME FIVE。

(Note /Uhu: One of our players pointed out that the chinese term for Jugger is "扎格", which is pronounced quite similarly to the English term.)

Read more, as well as the English translation, in the detailed  article view.

Järnsvenskan: Swedens international Jugger festival

For the seventh time, international teams have met at Järnsvenskan. During the last week-end, they fought for the skull at Sweden`s annual international Jugger festival, except for 2017 organized by the Uhu and Järnboås IF. 

Along with the tournament itself, Järnsvenskan has bands on stage, a sauna and a very comfy lake ... no wonder it attracts teams of different countries, all of them traveling to the small village of Järnboås, Bergslagen, every year. There have been USA, Australia, Russia, Ireland (every year except in 2019), Germany (every year) , Latvia, Lithuania, and many players from other countries battling over the skull.

And of course, plans for Järnsvenskan 2020  are already forming. Read more at the festival's website.

Four Kingdoms: Jugger variant inspired by "Game of Thrones"

Four Kindoms Jugger variant

Kay Frank of the Orange Juggernauts has designed a Jugger game variant where four kingdoms fight for the throne. 

With the last season of "Game of Thrones" having come to an end this week, it was just one step to adapt the Four Kingdoms game to the popular show. 

He was so kind to allow me translating the rules into English and putting them in form, together with photos from the event. Note that they might be updated.

Show your Achievements: Jugger merit roundels

Jugger merit roundels So you are very fond of Jugger and put time and love into this wonderful sport. You spread the fascination to others, educate them how to play or how to make good spars. Or you struggle organizing that one big tournament every year that the community loves to attend. Yet, what about motivating your team mates to get a bit more involved in the organizational hassle of Jugger themselves, by making their engagement a bit more visible, so that their work may be appreciated by others? To achieve this, I thought about creating these Jugger merit roundel. They offer a way to show the merits you earn during your Jugger life with an »evolving« emblem, without having to change the roundel itself. So you can print the basic roundel on your jersey in your first year and than just add all that which you achieve over time.
