We saw some folks playing this at the beach last summer so I thought I would make a set for the family, its a lot of fun at a picnic and can be played on any surface any weather from 2 to 12 players, kind of similar to bowling a and horseshoes. It’s a quick easy project to help rid the shop of some scrap. It’s pronounced (koob) and dates back to the Vikings.
Rules for the game can be found at http://www.bolstad.us/docs/Kubbrules.pdf

Looks like it could be a neat game, also a long one depending on your aim. Good way to use your scraps. Is their any information on the dimensions of the pieces?

clieb- Here are the sizes in centimeters but anything close will do. I found this at wikipedia
Ten Kubbs, rectangular wooden blocks 15 cm tall and 7 cm square on the end.
One King, a larger wooden piece 30 cm tall and 9 cm square on the end, adorned with a crown design on the top.
Six wooden batons around 30 cm long and anywhere from 3–5 cm in diameter.
Four Stakes, or other markers, to designate the corners of the pitch.
