ROPODAKubb Game Premium Set - Game Set for Yard/Outdoor/Lawn/Beach - Pinewood Viking Chess Game with Carrying Bag for Adults and Kids

I was introduced to Kubb by a friend and loved it. I put it on my Christmas list, but who would get a yard game at Christmas? I was so glad to finally get this one.Some of the pieces seemed a little smaller than I remember compared to my friend's game, but they still stood up just fine even in our very rough yard and it probably make the whole game lighter to carry. Speaking of carrying, it comes in a nice bag. I was concerned that it would be like a game of tetris getting it back in the bag, but it fits quite easily. The bag seems to be good quality and I expect it to last well. The pieces are all nice solid wood.What sets this gave of Kubb apart from the others is the addition of a wooden die and white board intended for you to add your own variations. The instructions for how to use this seem intentionally vague. That doesn't bother us; we like creating house rules. We decided to roll the die when a block got knocked over and added some rules to help the game move along a little quicker. Like, roll a 1 and step forward for your remaining throws, roll a 2 and get two extra throws, etc. This gives you the freedom to make the game quite interesting, with a little creativity. By the time we finished, we had a lot of ideas to try next time.I also like this game in general because we can all play it together no matter how old. Our 4-year-old happened to make the most impressive shot, knocking over a block right next to the king (or whatever it's called) without knocking that one over. When we finished, someone from the winning team picked up the king and held it up in the air like a trophy. Our kids immediately started talking about who they could invite over for a Kubb tournament.

Great summer activity kids from 6-106 can play together

My cousin has this game and we play it every time our family gets together for a cookout or party. I liked it so much that I wanted one of my own, which my husband thought was hilarious since I am terrible at it. But I like it anyhow because the premise is simple: knock down the wooden things with the other wooden things. Easy enough.This game is good for all ages. Kids pick up the concept pretty easily and the wooden dowels (I don't know what else to call them) are light enough for anyone around 5 years old or older to easily throw. No one has gotten a splinter, yet.We plan on playing this one-on-one in our own yard, but we're also going to take it camping with us when we go. It's a great conversation starter because I don't know many people who have seen this game before, so if we're on the trail (or the beach) playing it, we can teach it to whoever is interested.

I stumbled upon instructions for making your own set for this . . . Which I did, it was only a very quick project. . . Took about an hour to get a workable set going. Then stained and fanicified it. . . BUT lumber being nuts-o . . . It ended being more economical to just buy this one after my cousin's kids had such a great time playing my DIY version.Rules are similar to most any other lawn game. . . Ya know, "throw this at this" but there's a bit more to this one, which makes it a pretty damn enjoyable experience.2 teams of up to 6 can play at once and was a big hit at our family reunion a couple months ago. My cousins 8 year old son picked right up on it, and was surprisingly good!An absolute blast! We love it! 👍👍

This game was a totally random find from someone on YouTube talking about it. I picked it up and it is a blast. I would recommend it to anyone with some outdoor space or even a park they could play in. Totally worth the money.As my title says though I am giving it 4 stars because one of the batons (not sure if that's what they are called, but the things you throw) hit one of the pieces like normal and snapped right in half. It had a knot in it. I don't blame the seller as they couldn't have known, but my only thought is maybe since I got the cheaper set it's slightly more likely something like that could happened.Again I'm not blaming the seller but if they reached out I'd happily pay for a replacement baton.
