The legend of "Viking Chess"
Play the Game the Vikings Played
The history of Kubb is rumored to date back to the age of Vikings, although there has never been any actual evidence of this. The legend goes that Vikings, after conquering their victims would play Kubb. Because it is thought of as as an old Viking game, it has been nicknamed “Viking Chess.” But when the Vikings played it, it didn’t involve wooden blocks. Their Kubb’s were the skulls of their enemies! And to knock them down, they used their enemies femur bones!
