Kubb, also known as Viking Chess or Swedish Lawn Bowling, is an outdoor lawn game that combines strategy and skill. It involves two teams taking turns to knock over their opponent’s wooden blocks, known as kubbs, by throwing wooden batons. The game begins with setting up the kubbs as defensive pieces and a larger wooden block, the king, at the center of the field. The goal is to eliminate the opponent’s kubbs and then topple the king to secure victory.
Kubb is perfect for picnics, barbecues, and gatherings in the park or backyard. It encourages teamwork, strategic thinking, and precision while providing a fun and relaxed atmosphere for players of all ages. Its simplicity and portability make it a popular and enjoyable game for friends and family, ensuring memorable moments and spirited competition.
