Kubb

Kubb has been played since the Middle Ages here in Sweden, most people think that kubb comes from the biggest island in Sweden, it is called Gotland. Every year there is a world championship at Gotland. Here are the rules:

There are two teams. Each team has its own line with bowler pieces. There are five bowler pieces in each line. The team will throw down the other team’s bowler pieces with wooden sticks, you have to stand behind your own team’s bowler pieces when you throw it.
After you've thrown down the other team’s bowler pieces, it is time to throw down the king. The team that first throw down the king wins! But if you throw down the king by mistake you lose.//Anna Clara
