Kubb is a great experience for sure and one that I recommend you try at least once. The appeal of the game is in watching those Batons fly through the air and seeing how they pitch.19 Nov 2018
Why is it called Kubb?
Kubb is often rumored to have been originated by Vikings during the Middle Ages. Allegedly, when the game was first created, it was played with bones instead of wooden pieces. The kubbs are said to be based off of the skulls of the enemies of the Vikings, and the batons based on the femur leg bone.
What are the rules for playing Kubb?
- Batons must be thrown underarm and straight on (not spun) - they must be held at one end.
- If a Kubb topples but does not fall over completely, it can remain standing.
- If one Kubb falls so that it is resting on another Kubb or a throwing stick, it is deemed to have been knocked over.
