What is kubb?
Kubb is a lawn game where the object is to knock over wooden blocks by throwing wooden sticks at them. Kubb can be simply described as a combination of bowling and horseshoes. Today’s version originated on the island of Gotland, Sweden.
Rules vary from country to country and from region to region, but the ultimate object of the game is to knock the “king” over, before the opponent does. This, combined with the fact that there is a certain level of strategy that can be used by players, has led some players and kubb fans to nickname the game “Viking chess.”
Come join us for a game of kubb!
