Kubb is a lawn game where the object is to knock over wooden blocks by throwing wooden sticks at them. The word "Kubb" (rhymes with rube) means "wooden block" in the Gotland dialect of Swedish.
Kubb can be quickly described as a combination of bowling, horseshoes, and chess.
Rules vary from country to country and region to region, but the ultimate object of the game is to knock the king over before your opponent does. This, combined with the fact that there is a surprising level of strategy that can be used by players, has led some players and kubb fans to nickname the game "Viking Chess." However, unlike chess, if a player knocks over the king before achieving their objectives, that player immediately loses the game. Some games have been known to last for hours.
The game can be played on a variety of surfaces such as sand, concrete, grass, or even ice.
Kubb is a good game for supervised children, but in such cases, the 10-metre pitch length specified in some instructions needs to be shortened.
