Hardwood Viking Kubb Game Set with Carry Bag - Regulation Outdoor Throwing Game

KUBB is a popular outdoor game that originated in Sweden. It is commonly known as "Viking Chess" and involves strategy, precision, and teamwork. The game is played with wooden blocks and can be enjoyed by people of all ages, making it a great activity for family gatherings, picnics, and events.

To set up the game, a King wooden block is placed in the center of the playing area, and then ten Kubbs, which are smaller rectangular blocks, are arranged in two rows on opposite ends of the playing field. The objective of the game is to knock down the Kubbs on the opponent's side and then ultimately knock over the King block.

The game is played in teams of two, and each team takes turns throwing wooden batons to try and knock down the Kubbs. Players must aim carefully and strategize to ensure they can clear the field of Kubbs before taking aim at the King block. The teamwork aspect comes into play as players can collaborate to decide the best approach for each throw.

One unique feature of KUBB is the concept of "field kubbs" which are Kubbs that have been knocked down but not yet "punished" by the opposing team. Before a team can try to knock over the King, they must first throw the field Kubbs back into the opponent's half of the field. This adds an extra layer of strategy as teams must decide whether to focus on knocking down more Kubbs or take the risk of going for the King block.

As the game progresses, the field becomes more cluttered with knocked-down Kubbs, adding to the challenge of accurate throws and precise strategy. The first team to knock down all of the opposing team's Kubbs and then successfully overthrow the King block is declared the winner.

KUBB is a game that encourages outdoor activity, social interaction, and friendly competition. Its simple yet engaging gameplay makes it a hit at gatherings and events, and its origins as a traditional Swedish game add to its appeal. Whether it's a leisurely game in the backyard or a competitive match at a park, KUBB offers a fun and inclusive experience for all participants.
