We picked this up for a family gathering and it was a hit! The bag makes it easy to transport and store.

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.

Mostly a very good quality set, but one of the batons split on the second usage. We tied it up, and will try wood glue as it's not rotten or anything. Just must have been a weak spot in the wood used. Really would like to recommend this product, but I would hesitate as I wouldn't want someone else to deal with this same issue.

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.

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!

Great set all around. The backpack bag is a big plus. Can carry with handles or on your back. The pieces are great quality and don’t dent easily. Very solid feel and weight to all the pieces. It only comes with corner stakes so you’ll need to eyeball the center of the court or use some other markers. It includes a nifty bottle opener and the instructions are laminated. Very happy with this set.

I got introduced to Kubb a few years ago now. I'd never heard of it before, but it's quickly become my lawn game of choice. It can be played anywhere and is great for larger groups. Cornhole and similar games are great, but only 4 people can play and the rest of the group is left out. Not with Kubb, and it's great for any age group. This set is really solid, has a great carrying case, and comes with detailed instructions. You need good solid wood for a satisfying Kubb experience, and this set fits that bill at a great price.
