Great fun submitted by mjanen on August 14, 2014, 11:10am This game was a hit at a recent County Farm Park picnic. Kinda like Bocce ball, but seemed more engaging. Thanks AADL!

Fun submitted by rimpopu on August 16, 2014, 9:14am It was a first time to play Kubb for our family. We enjoyed it. It will be nice if you can attach a laminated copy of rules to the kit. I had played a similar game in childhood. It brought back fond memories. It also gave me an advantage over other members of my family especially my husband ;p. It was initially tough to play for my 4year old as she couldn't knock down the kubbs from the distance we had set so we had to reset the boundaries just for her. But my 5 year really enjoyed the challenge and was soon going at it like a pro. I think older kids and adults will enjoy this more and can make it more challenging. It is a fun game to play with children on days with nice weather (those precious days in Michigan) or when you have visitors coming with their kids or on play dates for kids. Can't wait to check out more lawn games. Thank you AADL!

Best Lawn Game Available! submitted by somotion on June 20, 2015, 12:20pm Love this game!

awesome submitted by graysonlandau on July 13, 2015, 11:40am great

Great game submitted by Dron.Druheen on August 5, 2015, 1:17pm Loved it !!

Great for a group submitted by Sara W on August 29, 2015, 9:25pm Kubb has been the hit of the summer for us, we've brought it along to several gatherings and have enjoyed playing it with friends, with families, with kids, and any mix thereof. Games can be pretty serious and competitive or be low key and casual. It's easy to learn and the difficulty can be slightly adjusted by creeping the court in to make it smaller. Sometimes the games can go a bit long, but on at a Saturday cookout with good company, who cares?

Fun! submitted by katieh on June 18, 2016, 2:31pm I love this game! This game is easy to learn and fun to play. I like that you can change up the difficulty by changing up the distance so it is smaller. The game can be a bit long sometimes, but you can modify the rules so it goes a bit faster. I definitely recommend taking this out on nice summer day!

PARTY submitted by parsh on June 17, 2017, 8:41am great thing when inviting someone

Really Fun submitted by Lmin on July 3, 2018, 2:54pm I played this at a bbq and am definitely considering checking it out!

Favorite Lawn Game submitted by monkk on July 17, 2018, 10:39pm Kubb is one of the most favored lawn games that my friends and I play, and many of us have our own sets now! I would have never known about this awesome game without the library.

Super fun! submitted by jessNU on July 25, 2018, 12:36am Loved this! Borrowed it for our wedding.

Great game submitted by julian.chase on August 11, 2018, 8:47am My all time favorite Swedish lawn game!

Will keep you busy for hours submitted by majean on August 11, 2018, 12:01pm This turned into a spectator sport at our backyard gathering. Each team got close to winning several times, but the opposite team was able to turn their fortunes around until we had to stop playing due to the sun going down.

My New Favorite Lawn Game submitted by msarah on August 18, 2018, 8:31am Kubb was the best game I played. The whole bag was heavy to carry, it seemed like it weighed like 50 pounds!

Kubb submitted by c_zhang on June 19, 2019, 12:52am This seems super fun! I've only played it once though.

Kubb submitted by Varshini on July 3, 2019, 3:53pm Really fun game! My friends also enjoyed it.

Viking Chess submitted by toschag on July 17, 2019, 2:33pm Apparently this game was invented by the Vikings which is fun! It’s surprising hard to knock over the blocks, but since you can always adjust the length of the field you can scale the difficulty for kids or adults. Make sure to look up some alternate rule sets, there are some variations that take forever, and some that will be a quick game.

its like bowling submitted by edb.blanchard on July 24, 2019, 8:28pm I feel like its the same motion as bowling. its all in the wrist!

So fun! submitted by hart on July 29, 2019, 6:56am This old Viking bowling game now comes with instructions and is so fun to play! One can set up the line of towers at any distance from the king to make it playable for all ages.

Great Outdoor Game for a group submitted by gem on August 17, 2019, 10:08am Several groups have played this game and really liked it. It is easy to transport. I agree that a set of rules attached would be helpful. Also, be a little easy on the pieces as they are merely wood and can splinter and break if treated too roughly.

So Much Fun submitted by Whitetnchina on July 22, 2020, 10:09am Looking forward to learning this!

Kubb submitted by DL on August 28, 2020, 11:43am Fun game but be careful when the other team is throwing.

well made submitted by Aimless on August 2, 2022, 9:10am well made, and who does no love throwing sticks at blocks? much fun

We have our own and love taking it camping submitted by JennJenn on August 11, 2022, 2:57pm It is fun with a group for a laid back enjoyable outdoor game while socializing with friends.

We love Kubb! submitted by Mandyghutton on August 22, 2023, 2:54pm We play this game every summer with a home made Kubb set that my parents made. It was a big hit at my birthday party and a fun alternative to cornhole! So glad that the library has a Kubb set so that more people can learn to play this fun game!
