Wooden blocks, throwing batons and a king in the middle. Kubb brings teams together for a game of patience, aim and changing fortunes.

01

Get to know the pieces

A typical Kubb set contains a king, ten blocks, six throwing batons and markers. Check the actual contents before buying. Set up two opposing baselines with the king between them. For a casual introduction, reduce the distance while keeping the playing area clear of spectators.

02

The idea of the game

Teams take turns trying to knock down the opposing blocks with underarm throws. Fallen blocks are returned to the other half and become part of the next challenge. The king is the final target. This is a short introduction; use a complete agreed rule set for the order of play and winning conditions.

03

Choose and care for a wooden set

Compare block dimensions, baton weight and storage options. Compact sets travel more easily, while larger pieces have a different feel in the hand. Inspect wood for splinters and cracks, especially after hard impacts. Let damp pieces dry before packing them away and keep the storage bag in a dry place.
