How to Make a Kubb Game

Instructions provided by OutdoorGamePlayers.com Materials 6' of 4"x4" - For the King and Kubbs 6' of 1.5"-2" dowel / closet rod - For the Throwing Sticks 4' of .75" dowel - For the Corner Pins 30' of nylon rope or string - to define the playing area

Making the king Chop off 12" of the 4x4. The King often gets decorated to show off how important it is. The amount of decoration is up to you.

* Using a table saw, use two, 45-degree cuts to notch the sides, and make a series of cuts at the top to give the king a crown! A router would be great for this. Making the Kubbs The size of the kubb is 7cm x 7cm x 15cm or 2.75" x 2.75" x 5.9" Trim .5" off of two sides of the 4x4 to make these pieces, using a table saw. A 4x4 is actually 3.5"x3.5", so you trim .5", not 1" Next, cut 10, 5.9" lengths to create your 10 kubbs.

Making the Throwing Sticks Create 6 batons to throw at the kubbs and the king Cut 6, 12" pieces of the 1.5" - 2" dowel. The Throwing Sticks should be about 12" long. Then, cut 4, approx. 12" stakes to mark off the playing field.

Cut your string or rope The playing field for kubb is roughly 16.5' by 26'. Cut a length of string or rope and tie a few knots where the corner pins will be. Wrap the string around a leftover piece of the dowel.
