## What Is a Kubb Set?

A kubb set is a complete collection of wooden pieces used to play the game of kubb. The goal of the game is to knock down your opponent’s kubbs and then topple the king in the center of the field by tossing batons.

A standard kubb set typically includes:

- **1 King** – Larger central piece, often with a crown design on top  
- **10 Kubbs** – Smaller rectangular blocks, five per team  
- **6 Batons (Throwing Sticks)** – Cylindrical sticks used to knock down kubbs  
- **4–6 Corner/Boundary Stakes or Markers** – To outline the playing field  
- **Carrying Bag or Box** – For storage and transport (optional but very useful)  

Most sets are made from solid wood and are designed to be used on grass, sand, or other soft outdoor surfaces.
