Think I'll just give it a good old hammering and see how it fairs! Way I see it, a few dents will give it character. Thanks, Jon. Think I’ll just give it a good old hammering and see how it fairs!

Considering it's a wooden version of a smash up derby, the less you spend on the set, the less you'll be worry about it when it gets a little banged up. I've had a set for years and it has a little bit of wear, but it's really not as bad as you'd think, considering I usually play on sand and I've never treated a set with anything. If you treat the wood, remember that whatever is on the wood is probably going to end up on your hands and clothes by the time you're finished...

Would you use wax or oil to treat the wood? This is a great game and addictive too. I'm praying for sunshine to get out and have a go!

My husband is currently making a set for the coming summer. Try playing it with experienced players at first, and you'll get the rules down (that they play with anyway), and you'll want to teach someone else so you can play wherever you are.

I've already got a set that I bought in Denmark, but now my sister wants a set for Christmas because she had so much fun playing it at my other sister's wedding this summer. We didn't actually play Kubb during the wedding, although that may have made the ceremony more enjoyable... Anyway, nice site. I'm going to forward it on to my Dad.
