Kubb Set
Nicknamed Viking Chess for its supposed Nordic origin, this backyard game is an ideal weekend or after-work project. The set features one King, ten Kubbs, six Batons, and four Marking Stakes to designate the corners of the pitch and centerline.
Using just a few YellaWood® boards and some wooden rods, the game takes shape in a few steps. The Kubbs are ripped and cross-cut from 4x4 stock, the King is a 4x4 with a decorative top to designate a crown, and the wooden rods in two diameters create the Batons and Marking Stakes.
After each piece is sanded and sealed, it's just a matter of setting up the game parameters before an official game is on.
