Kubb is a throwing game that was meant to train vikings and improve their skill of axe-throwing. This game requires coordination, dexterity and skill of throwing.
In Kubb, there are two teams on either side of a shape (preferably a square or rectangle). Along both sides of the area are wooden blocks (which represent warriors), and the number of warriors on both teams must be even. In the middle of the area is a bigger wooden block with a spikey top (which represents the King). There are also wooden sticks which resemble battle axes, which the players have to throw.
To play Kubb, one team starts with all of the axes. The players take turns to try and hit one of the other team's warriors. The players must be behind their own warriors. The game does not allow the axes to be swung or spun horizontally.
The goal is to knock down all of the other team's warriors before the other team manages to. As for the King, once a team has knock down all of the warriors, they are allowed to aim for the King. However, they can only throw the axe between their legs. When the King is knocked over, that team wins.
Kubb can help people improve the dexterity in their arm and their coordination skills. It can also help with their skill of throwing and they can eventually apply their coordination skills and skill of throwing to a different event.
