Chicago & Seattle - Get Ready to Kubb
by Liz - 07/13/09
Little known outside of Sweden, Kubb is an ancient Viking game (so we’re told) where opposing teams throw sticks in an attempt to knock over blocks of wood lined up in front of the other team. At its core it’s not a vastly different game than horseshoes or lawn darts, but it’s made more fun by the fact that you get to throw sticks at your friends.
Next week our Chicago and Seattle teams get to try their hand at this ancient sport. Monday night Chicago’s teams face off in Humboldt Park and Wednesday Seattle’s teams battle under the Space Needle.
