Kubb

Kubb is a Swedish lawn game, also called Viking Chess, that is super fun to play on the long summer days we're experiencing now. You play Kubb by dividing into two teams on a rectangular field. Each team places 5 blocks (kubbs) in front of them and the king pin is placed in the middle of the field. Players then toss stickes trying to knock down the other players kubbs. Once you knock down a kubb, the other team tosses it across the field and wherever it lands is your team's new baseline until the other team can knock down one of your kubbs. After you have knocked over all 5 kubbs, you then go for the King pin...whichever team knocks down the King wins...but if you knock it down before knocking down all the kubbs, you automatically lose.
A fabulous night spent with good friends like Cecilia and Gustavo.
