Kubb is an outdoor game of skill and strategy which can be traced back to Viking times in Sweden. It can be described as a combination of horseshoes and bowling but with an added strategic dimension.
You can find a good description of the history and rules of the Kubb here.
The object of Kubb is to knock over the King before your opponent does but not before you've achieved a number of other objectives first. Knock the king over prematurely, and you've lost!
This is a great game for all the family, including children. Detailed rules are provided in Englsih... and 8 other languages!
Includes a total of 21 pieces, all nicely contained in a while cotton bag.
