Kubb is a Scandinavian lawn game in which two teams throw wooden batons to knock down the other side’s blocks and then the king in the centre. A set needs only a flat patch of grass, sand or snow, so it suits yards, beaches and tailgates.
The six sets below differ in wood type, piece count, size and how they carry. Details come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these sets ourselves. Wood and quality claims are the makers’ own.
