General

Kubb or Viking Chess is a skill game with strategic elements. It symbolizes a battle in which two enemy groups fight for their king. Whoever defeated the enemy king won the battle. It is not about gaining space or filling certain points on the field, but about beating the opposing fighters. As with the real battle, the picture on the field changes again and again. The game is played on a manageable field in which there are no tactical landscape advantages for a party.

In its current form, Kubb or Viking chess has been played since around 1990, in some cases Kubb is also referred to as "Hägars Viking Chess", "Viking Game", "Peasant Bowling", "Stick Game" or "Viking Bowling".

Kubb is written and pronounced identically in almost all languages: This is how Kubb in cs: Kubb, da: Kubb, en: Kubb, eo: Sveda blokludo, es: Kubb, fr: Kubb, it: Kubb, nl: Kubb, no: Kubb, pl: Kubb, ru: Кубб (игра), sv: Kubb (spel)


The history of the Kubb

Here is a small video about the Kubb story. The film is a study project for the Cut Up course at the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences.

Viking chess

before our era

Egypt

The oldest of a Kubb game resembling the game was found in a burial chamber ** created around 5200 BC.

Old-Egyptian Kubb

It is not clear whether this picture actually represents a forerunner of Kubbs in ancient Egypt. Egyptian murals where the forerunner of Kubb was played. Around 3000 BC, the ancient Egyptians played games that are very similar to Kubb. At that time games were said to have been played which were a mixture of javelin throwing and chess. Excavations (even if we do not have any corresponding images) are said to have found wooden blocks, human bones, bones and Egyptian wall paintings, which prove that the Egyptians played such games.


Greeks

The ancient Greeks also knew a game that was similar to Kubb or Viking chess, but stone blocks were used instead of logs **.


Romans

The Romans are also said to have played games similar to the Kubb in the lower strata of the population, from which games such as bocce and boli also developed.


Persians

There is also the claim that Kubb was also known in Persia. There are various words in Arabic that indicate this. كتلة (pronunciation 'Kutla') literally means 'block' and كتلة ('Kubtal') means blocking. The Persians also knew sports games and chess.


1000 AD

The Vikings are said to have played the direct forerunner of today's Kubb. The game was played with "Vedkubbar" (lumber in Swedish) or Kubb (Swedish for chopping or wooden blocks) was used. The [Wikinger|[Vikings]] are said to have imitated battles at their festivals and in their free time. In the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle there should be a description of the Kubb game on the occasion of the victory of Assandun around 1016 **.

The exact passage, which refers to Kubb or Viking chess, is unfortunately not available to the Kubbwiki.

However, whether this game was really invented by the Vikings is questionable. The Vikings also robbed everyday things during their campaigns. They spent quite some time in the raided countries. Recorded customs and customs there and took them back to your home.
Map of the Viking areas in the 8th (dark red), 9th (red), 10th (orange) and 11th (yellow) centuries. The green spaces were victims of regular Viking raids.

Other sources assume that it is a further development of the Kyykkä, which was known in Karelia, Finland and Estonia under many different names such as: Kurnilöömine, Kriuhka, Köllöi, Keili, and Papin Tappaminen . In Russia the game is known as Gorodki.


So it would also be possible that they got to know the game during your raids in today's Turkey or Russia.

The Vikings will probably have spread the game in Scotland and the Scandinavian areas, which also spread to Germany etc. due to the close trade in Europe.


Origin of Cuba?

That the Vikings are said to have robbed the Kubb game in Cuba [| (see)] is probably just a myth. The word Cuba is the German spelling of (Spanish Cuba), which was probably formed from the original name of the local population, the words "coa" (place) and "bana" (large), ie rather "large square".

Middle Ages

By the Hanseatic League, Kubb or Viking chess is said to have been used in Scandinavia, England, France and Germany by the end of the 14th century before it was completely forgotten.

1930 after Chr

So far it is considered fairly certain that Kubb was played in the parks Stockholm s with the game rules known today and also under its current name in the 30s / 40s of the 20th century.


    • Evidence and images are still being sought here!

workers game

Other sources assume that the current shape of the Kubb or Viking chess was not formed until 1900.

1900

The game in its current form is said to originate from the entrepreneur Egmund Franzén from the village of Kubbe near Bredbyn in northern Ångermanland. To embellish the dreary free time of the workers, the manufacturer came up with the idea of "throwing wooden blocks". When the game became more widespread, it was named Kubb after the location.
