Kubb

Kubb is a Swedish game and is thought to have been created by the Vikings over 1000 years ago. Legend says that in them days they used the skulls and thigh borns of there victims to play. More probable is the notion that they simply used the off cuttings of fire wood, and this is seen to be more truthful as "Kubb" in Swedish means block of wood. The main aim is to knock all your opponents blocks of wood down with the sticks and then knock the king down, the first person to do this wins.
