Kubb Viking Chess Game With Cotton Bag Extra Small

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.
Rules vary from country to country and from region to region, but the ultimate object of the kubb game is to knock the "King" over, before your 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." However, unlike chess, if a player or team knocks over the king before achieving their objectives, that player/team immediately loses the game.
Kubb games can be played on a variety of surfaces such as sand, concrete, grass, or even ice.
Kubb is a good game for children (under supervision), although in such cases, the 10-meter pitch length (specified in some instructions), is often shortened..

There are typically twenty-one game pieces used in Kubb:

• 21 pieces: Birch Wood: 1 King, 10 Knights, 6 Throwing Sticks and 4 Markers
• Size: King = 2.3cm x 2.3cm x 12 cm
• Presented in a heavy-duty attractive cotton bag with shoulder strap

Kubb games can be played one on one or in two teams. The best playing surfaces are grass or gravel. The object of the game is to knock over all the opponent's knights and then the king, using the throwing sticks. The playing field is marked out using the 4 markers. Place the king in the centre of the playing field, with 5 knights placed at regular intervals along each baseline. The thrower always stands somewhere on his/her own baseline. The sticks must be thrown vertically and underarm. One person from each team throws a stick as close to the king as possible, but without hitting it. The team with the stick closest to the king starts. The aim now is to knock over as many of the opposing team's knights as possible, using the 6 throwing sticks.

The game Kubb (pronounced koob) is addictive, employs skill and strategy and has sometimes been called The Viking Chess Game.
Everyone has an opportunity to win since the game is not over until the last pin is thrown. You can use strategy or just play happy go lucky.
To play it is to love it!
