Checklist For Viking Chess

#Label
Material
  • For Viking chess (Kubb), wood from different trees such as birch is used.
  • All types of wood have different strength and weight. They also have different shapes and colors. Which type of wood is the best varies from person to person.
  • Splinters are caused by poor workmanship, so care should be taken to ensure good quality to avoid injury.
Size
  • The game items are, depending on the set, between 4 and 30 cm in size.
  • Generally, the king, which is thrown at the end of the game, is larger than the throwing blocks.
Extras
  • Storage can be provided by carrying bags or nets. This also reduces the risk of losing individual blocks.
  • Another extra, which is mainly used for children, is a shin guard, which prevents the blocks from causing injuries to the leg area.

FAQ About Viking Chess

How does Winkinger chess work?

– Playing field 5 x 8m
– 2 teams place cubes on the baseline
– The goal is to knock down the opponent’s cubes
– Once a cub has been knocked down, the team must throw it into the opponent’s field and try to knock it down again
– When all cubes have been knocked down, only the king must be hit to win
– The king is in the middle of the field.

Which wood for Viking Chess?

Medium hard hardwood is particularly suitable. Birch is worth mentioning as an example. Softwoods, on the other hand, do not last as long and are therefore suboptimal.

How much does Viking chess cost?

The price can be 15€, but also 80€. Here it depends mainly on the quality, especially the type of wood as well as the processing. For brands you also pay more.
