## What Is a Kubb Set?



A kubb set is the complete collection of wooden pieces used to play the game of kubb. A regulation or typical backyard kubb set includes:



- **1 King** – A larger central block, often with a crown-shaped top

- **10 Kubbs** – Smaller rectangular blocks (often called “soldiers” or “peasants”)

- **6 Batons** – Round throwing sticks used to knock over kubbs

- **4–6 Corner Stakes / Boundary Markers** – To mark the edges of the playing field



Most kubb sets come in a storage bag or box and are made from hardwoods like rubberwood, birch, or beech.
