Kubb game as a classic garden game can be said that it blends the features of bowling and horseshoe. The game is played on a small rectangular lawn playing field called “Pitch”. The "Kubbs" need to be placed at both ends of the pitch, while the "king" (a larger block) needs to be placed in the middle of the pitch which is the lawn field. Although the rules of the game vary from country to country and region to region, the ultimate goal of the game does not change. The goal is to knock down the "Kubb" of the opposing side of the lawn and then knock down the "King" before the opponent to win.

Setup

According to the US Champion Rules and the World Champion Rules, Kubb viking game set plays at a rectangular pitch of 5 m x 8 m. A rectangle is formed by placing the sticks, and the center stick is placed in the middle gap on the long side of the rectangle, thus dividing the field into two halves. Although markings that do not interfere with gameplay (such as chalk lines) are allowed, there is little need for other markings to demarcate the boundaries of the field. The player is required to place the king vertically in the center of the pitch and put the five kubbs on the baseline (the short side of the rectangle) with same spacing. Wooden Kubbs that start the game from the baseline are called base Kubbs. The baseline should pass through the center of the ball. For younger children, you can shorten the pitch by eight meters which is more convenient for kids.
