If there’s one thing the Scandinavians got right, it’s games for the outdoors. Kubb is no exception.
Kubb (Pronounced KOOb), is an ancient strategy game often referred to as ‘Viking Chess’. It’s a team game, for 2-12 players, with the aim is to knock over all the opponents Kubbs (small wooden blocks) and finish by knocking over the King in the centre of the playing field.
All you require to play is a steady hand, a strategic mind and bit of luck (unless you have the amazing skill of the Vikings of old!). Definitely an outdoor game, you’ll also need a pitch, aproximately 5m x 8m, to go along with your Kubb set from Presents of Mind. It’s perfect for the backyard, the local park or the beach.
Kubb can simply be played for some good old family fun or can be highly competitive, being played in organised tournaments all around the globe!
It’s my favourite outdoors game and one of the best team-based strategy games on the market! Get yours here from Presents of Mind.
