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 **.
