Kubb

 ***

Relevant Background: Kubb (pronounced [kɵbː] in Swedish and Gutnish) is a lawn game where the objective is to knock over wooden blocks (kubbar) by throwing wooden batons (kastpinnar) at them. Kubb can be described as a combination of bowling and horseshoes. Play takes place on a small rectangular playing field, known as a "pitch". "Kubbs" are placed at both ends of the pitch, and the "king", a larger wooden block, is placed in the middle of the pitch. Some rules vary from country to country and from region to region, but the ultimate objective of the game is to knock over the "kubbs" on the opposing side of the pitch, and then to knock over the "king", before the opponent does. Games can last from five minutes to well over an hour. The game can be played on a variety of surfaces such as grass, sand, concrete, snow, or even ice....Twenty-one^[9] or twenty-three game pieces^[10] are used in kubb:

Ten kubbs, rectangular wooden blocks 10–15 cm tall and 5–7 cm square on the end.
One king, a larger wooden piece 25–30 cm tall and 7–9 cm square on the end, sometimes adorned with a crown design on the top.
Six batons, 25–30 cm long and 2.5–4.4 cm in diameter.
Four or six field marking pins, four to designate the corners of the pitch, and, if there are six, two to mark the centreline..."(Link)
