The first written mention of the word kubb however is dated to 1931 in a book by a Gotland native ethnologist, visiting the island Fårö. Place the king in the centre of the playing field, with 5 kubbs placed at regular intervals along each baseline - one at either end, one in the middle and the remaining two equi-distant between the first three.

Kubb is a game where the wood soon gets battered and dented so for most people this isn't an issue but if you need perfect looking timber, this product may not suit you. It is imperative that all Field Kubbs are toppled because otherwise, the opponents will be able to throw from a much closer point (behind the nearest Field Kubb instead of the Baseline) during their next turn.

Made from rubber wood, this game includes, 1 King, 6 throwing sticks, 10 Knights, 4 area markers, a cotton bag with handles, rules and instructions. Made from sturdy rubber wood, this game is meant to last and is perfect for the entire family to play. Play continues in this fashion until a team is able to knock down all kubbs on one side, from both the field and the baseline. However, within only a few years, mainland and international teams were coming to Gotland to compete, and a major Swedish manufacturer was selling Kubb sets; in the 2000s Kubb spread to several European countries, as well as the USA and Canada.

Team A then throw the 6 batons from behind the baseline at the opposition's kubbs which are at the opposite end of the pitch. The pitch should always be level, with no more than a 3 inch drop from one end -- or one side -- to the other. The king is placed upright in the center of the pitch, and the kubbs are placed on the baselines (short edges of the rectangle), five kubbs on each side equidistant from each other.

If a product is received by you and the box has signs of damage, it is important that when you sign for the product, that this is noted and that if there isn't then time or the opportunity to check the product itself, that you note on the signature slip that the product is 'received unchecked'. The game is similar to skittles or bowling where you have to throw to knock over the kubbs on the opposing side. For informal play between players of widely differing abilities, such as an adult and a child it is permissible to shorten the width of the arena on the child’s opponent’s side, making it easier for the child to hit the kubbs, and it is also permissible to move the king closer to, but not behind, the child’s line. Though differing from kubb in detail, kaisers, [b] as published in Leipzig in 1800, displays most of the fundamental features of kubb, including team sides, recycled pins, a kingpin, and even the requirement to throw from behind one's own pins; though as in the Polish game, the main projectile is a ball rather than a baton.
