Kubb: Viking Throwing Game

Kubb is the classic Swedish lawn game, often called Viking chess, and now the whole lawn fits in your pocket. Aim, throw the baton and knock down the other side's kubbs before you take the king.

Aim, throw and topple the kubbs

Pull back with your thumb, aim along the line and let go. The baton spins through the air, the kubbs topple and the king stays standing until your team has earned him.

  1. Aim

    Pull back with your thumb and aim along the line.

  2. Throw

    Let go and the baton spins through the air toward the kubbs.

  3. Take the king

    Knock down the other side's kubbs first. The king falls last, and toppling him too early loses the match.
