About the game
What you do in a play session
Mini Kubb is the compact, eco‑friendly take on the classic Viking game, perfect for anyone who wants a slice of Norse history on the coffee table. Crafted from sustainable wood, the set includes wooden blocks (the "kubbs") and throwing sticks that players use to topple the opponent's pieces. Each side lines up its kubbs on a baseline and tries to knock down the enemy's kubbs. Once all opposing kubbs are down, players may aim for the king, the central block that decides the win. Beware: knocking the king down before clearing the field results in an instant loss. The box is small enough to store easily, making it ideal for quick 15‑minute rounds at home, a picnic, or even a coffee‑break tournament. It accommodates 2 to 12 players, so you can play in pairs or gather a big group for lively social play. Rules are almost instinctive, yet the accuracy required to throw the sticks adds a dexterity challenge that appeals to both newcomers and seasoned skill‑games fans. Because it’s lightweight and easy to set up, Mini Kubb works on tables, wooden floors, or even rugs, as long as there’s enough room for the playing field. If you enjoy fast, outdoor‑friendly games or just want a Nordic flair on your tabletop, Mini Kubb offers fun, friendly competition and a charming look without the fuss.
