Kubb !
What on Earth Kubb is? Well,
it is the name of a fascinating game to play outdoor. It is
generally thought to origin from the Vikings, I met it in Sweden.
The game is very popular in North-Europe, they call it Kubb in
Sweden and Russia. In England Bowler or Block is the term for it.
At first the rules may seem a bit difficult, but don't worry,
everything will be clear and self-evident after the first few
turns! All who tried had a joyful pastime!
Kubb is played with logs and sticks. Although it is an aim and hit game, you must not be extremely skilful to play. There may be 2-12 players without any respect to age, muscle or sex; you can play wherever you find a minor smooth spot. It is a stirring entertainment in the garden, on the beach, an ideal partygame even if the weather turns to chilly and windy a little. By the way, it was invented in North...
You can easily create a Kubb set yourself if you have good
tools and appropriate timber. A piece of advice:
Avoid pinewood!
It is cheap but soft, so become bruised and rough in a few
matches.
