From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kubb is an outdoor game where the object is to knock over wooden blocks by throwing wooden sticks at them. The word "Kubb" [pron. koob] means "wooden block" in the Gotland dialect of Swedish. Kubb can be quickly described as a combination of bowling, horseshoes, and chess. Rules vary from country to country and region to region, but the ultimate object of the game is to knock the king over before your opponent does. This, combined with the fact that there is a surprising level of strategy that can be used by players, has led some players and kubb fans to nickname the game "Viking Chess." Games can last for hours, and kubb can enjoyed on a variety of surfaces, from sand to concrete. For more information on Kubb visit Wikipedia. More on Rubberwood from Wikipedia: Rubberwood also known as Plantation Hardwood is the standard common name for the hardwood timber of Hevea brasiliensis. Rubberwood has a dense grain that is easily controlled in the kiln drying process. Rubberwood has very little shrinkage making it one of the more stable construction materials available for furniture, toys and kitchen accessories. Rubberwood is used only after it completes its latex producing cycle, generally when it is 25-30 years old. When the latex yields become extremely low, the trees are then felled, and new ones are usually planted. This wood is therefore eco-friendly in the sense that it is being used when it would normally be thrown away.
