Yesterday we had a game of kubb with marias sister and her partner. I blame beginners luck, it was their first time playing the game and they beat us both times. Kubb is a traditional viking game that is popular as a summer game here in Sweden. Some sets claim that one line of thought is that chess evolved from the game but that seems just a little far fetched for me. Basically you throw sticks of wood at other blocks of wood in an attempt to knock them over. Its one of those games that sounds difficult to understand just from reading the rules but is actually very simple to understand and play once you get started.Have a go for yourself online here admittely its hopless online but you have the choice all the same.

I havent a clue who these people are but at least you get to see a game in progress
