Kubb set material
There are so many different Kubb sets. The used materials of these sets also vary. Pine is used in the “Kubb World Championship”. From a sustainable point of view most of the professional sets are now made from Rubber wood. The big advantage of Rubber wood is that it dents instead of splinters. The game pieces often come in tough contact with each other and you don’t want your set to be full of splinters after a couple of games. So pay close attention when choosing your set: I have listed the best Kubb sets for you, to make the decision easier for you!
Kubb playing field dimensions
The size of a kubb tournament field is 8 x 5 meters (33 x 26 feet). This total field is then divided in two equal rectangles of 4 x 5 meters (16,5 x 13 feet)
It is important to neatly plot the field to get a perfect rectangle. In this way you can get used to the official dimensions before playing a Kubb tournament. Secure the field with the field markers or with a set of tent pegs.
