Kubb Empire Standard Edition Hardwood Set with Backpack

This game is the pinnacle of all activities conceived thus far in the long and illustrious catalogue of human-crafted contests. It has the operational simplicity of TicTacToe, but the strategic depth of Stratego. It plays out with the same primeval, calculated rhythm as a game of chess, but can be played anywhere (beach, grass, ice, dirt), on a field as large or as small as one desires, and with as many participants as are willing to take part. There are various ways to play, and you can pick the version you like best. If you play in a public area, like the beach, I can guarantee that random citizens will approach you, fascinated, and ask what this game is. The ancient Swedes invented this (thank you, Sweden), and I'm not sure how advanced their knowledge of math was back in the day, but they somehow created a game that is the ideal mixture of leisure and effort. You can get drunk as a skunk playing this game on the beach, and whereas in other beach games you may falter and lose morale in your drunken state (Spikeball), with Kubb you will never feel the need to stop. At its core, Kubb generates the maximum amount of psychological reward for the minimum amount of physical effort, simply by being played. It is a wonder of a spiel. A truly fun affair. If you want to skip years of rigorous meditation in a monastery in the Himalayas to reach enlightenment, buy this game and play it for a few hours. In the distant future, when the great cities of our age lie in dust and humanity is no more, aliens will look upon the ruins of our society and wonder, who could have crafted such a complex civilization? And the answer will be: those who play Kubb. Acquire this game and ensure your legacy lives on until the end of time.

I heard about this game and decided to give it a try. I really enjoy it so far. The prices seem durable and after a fair amount of use seem to be holding up just fine. It’s not an issue but it took a full week after ordering it to receive it but that’s not major. I suppose I’m spoiled since I’ve geown accustomed to getting stuff in 2 days. The backpack is a nice feature but the prices need to be packed “just so” in order to make it all fit. I took a picture before I unpacked it the first time to use as a cheat sheet until I did it a few times.

While we love this game and this backpack recreational set fro Kubb Empire is great, two batons and one kubb broke during the first game. Attached is an image of the baton with the most damage. As you can see the baton split right at a failure point. The second baton and the kubb (small block) both had minor chips on the top edge.I hope to resolve the situation with KubbEmpire.com, as some of the other buyers here have done, and if so I will update this review.*8/29/2019* Update: The seller Yayano has been great to respond and will be shipping replacements to us right away. Updated review to 5 stars because with great customer support the QC problem is solved!

The good - Very fun game. It is pretty challenging at times and the tides can turn quickly. I had knocked down all field kubb and baseline kubbs but 1, I still had 3 baseline kubbs. A bad throws and couple rounds later I lost!The pieces fit back into the carry bag nicely. There is an order to putting the pieces in, but it is easy to do versus some storage bags that are a pain/impossible to use.The bad - First round one of the batons was damaged when it struck a kubb.

I love the game- the backpack is great for keeping it all intact. The lack of stars is just like others I played the first game with it and one of the batons/ sticks broke. Hope to contact vendor to see if they can send me a replacement- I am a little nervous that the others may break also. Besides this great game and great set.- update after e-mailing vendor they responded within hours and are sending new baton. Fast response and proactive so very happy.
