You know spring has arrived when you see families and teenagers playing Kubb in their yard or the park. If you’ve ever wondered about the game, it’s the one where people throw blocks of wood at other blocks of wood.

The goal: Eventually knock over the ‘King’ at the center, but only after you have knocked down all of your opponent’s ‘Guard Kubbs’ using the throwing Batons. However, you automatically lose if you knock the king over before you have eliminated the other team’s guards.
