Maibaum Hunters

“Maibaum Hunters” revolves around an old Bavarian custom: stealing maypoles. Creators Tschuggi, Saint Skye and Zeo each back a local lads' club from north of Munich, from Unterföhring, Feldmoching and a joint team from Hochbrück and Schleißheim. In challenges like beer-crate stacking, the teams compete for advantages heading into the nights when trees get stolen and guarded. If you like tradition mixed with competitive fun and plenty of team spirit, this one's for you – so which club will keep the closest watch on its tree?
