Simple Kubb game

They came out looking good, as long as they work then who cares about regulations. Great job

Looks good now how do you play?

My father-in-law taught me this game at a wedding reception in Indiana. It was a big hit with everyone and was a blast to play, not sure where he learned it though. Your set looks nice.

Raspar, if I am correct, you stand on opposite sides of a playing field. The small rectangles stand on opposite ends near the two teams with the castle (not sure if its the correct name but it’s the taller block with grooves on the top) in the center. Opponents can place the small rectangles anywher, including right behind the castle. You and your opponents take turns trying to hit down the opponents smaller blocks first by throwing the dowels before you are allowed to topple the castle. If you topple the castle before the opponents smaller blocks I believe you lose. I was a little drunk playing it but I think that about covers the basic rules lol. I always hated it when my opponents would set up the smaller blocks right in front of the castle. Great game though!! Even the little kids understood how to play it.

Here is a video of it, hopefully with my explanation the video will make sense as its not in English.

We have always set up the kubb pieces (small rectangles) evenly spaced on the throwing line.

Well done. Wikipedia has a good set of rules for Kubbs. I’ve been planning on making a set for months. seems like a 4×4 and closet rod would be a cheap way to go. Of course the 4×4 would probably be pine in my area and research suggests that pine is a poor choice.

I built (and posted) a set of these awhile back, its a fun game and always a hit at picnics. Nice build by the way.

I just saw this game the other day, prior to which I had never heard of the game. what a weird coincidence. I think I will make one as well!!
