My buddy Garrick came over yesterday and we enjoyed some practice rounds of Kubb across the street at Minnehaha Creek West Park. We played three games. The first one quickly went to him and the last quickly went to me. The one in the middle was an hour long ebb and flow of knights shifting from side to side.

Two people playing Kubb on a dry grass field in a park in winter, wooden blocks arranged in rows, bare trees in background. Man in dark jacket and jeans stands on a dry winter lawn where wooden Kubb blocks are scattered across a roped-off playing field with bare trees behind. Wooden Kubb pieces scattered on dry brown grass in a park field, including a king block and several kubbs lying on the ground. Two adults and a child playing Kubb on a dry grassy field in a park surrounded by bare winter trees and houses in the background. Man in jeans and dark jacket crouching to throw a wooden baton toward upright wooden kubbs on a dry grass field lined with bare trees. Four rectangular wooden Kubb blocks arranged on dry winter grass near a wooden stake in a park.
