| Text | "Now winter was coming on, and the brothers said that people ought to start playing games and finding something amusing to do. They did so for a time, but then people started saying unpleasant things about each other, and they fell out with each other, and the games came to an end. The people in the two houses stopped going to see each other, and that was how things were for a great deal of the winter. |

| Query | Are the Sagas taken as accurate by scholars of Viking exploits? When did the three siblings live in Vinland? Do we have any hints as to games played by Vikings? When were the Sagas written? Edit with form to add a query |
