Kubb FAQ: Rules, Sets, Wood, Shipping & More
What is kubb?
Kubb (pronounced “koob”) is a Scandinavian throwing game sometimes called Viking chess. Two teams toss wooden batons to knock down the other team’s kubbs. After the field kubbs are down, a team wins by knocking down the king.
Which Country Kubb set is best for most players?
We recommend the Tournament Kubb Set for most players. Its larger pieces are easier to see across the pitch, feel substantial in play, and use tournament-size dimensions. Families wanting a lighter, lower-priced set often prefer the Classic Kubb Set.
What is the difference between Classic, Tournament, and Premium kubb sets?
The Classic set is lighter and more compact. The Tournament set has larger pieces for easier visibility and competitive-style play. The Premium set uses the same larger dimensions as the Tournament set and adds a hand-painted finish. See the kubb set comparison guide for details.
What comes with a complete kubb set?
Complete sets include 1 king, 10 kubbs, 6 throwing batons, 6 boundary stakes, printed rules, and a canvas tote. Product pages list the exact dimensions for each set.
What wood do you use?
Country Kubb sets are made from locally sourced poplar. Poplar provides a useful balance of durability and portability for a lawn game that is carried, thrown, and played often.
Where are Country Kubb sets made?
Our kubb sets are American-made and crafted by Amish woodworkers in rural Ohio. Pieces are cut, shaped, sanded, and finished with natural grain and color variation.
