i recently had the opportunity to try out the game Koob. Yesterday we had a beautiful 60 degree day, and when the kids got home from school, i kicked them outside to play and we set up the game. My son, who loves Vikings was really excited to try the game. The game is simple in concept, but really quite challenging and a ton of fun! You use the 4 wooden stakes to set up your playing field, then place the koob on each end and set the king in the center.
You need two or more players, and each team takes turns trying to knock down the other teams koobs. It really requires a lot of skill and practice to knock down the koob. My daughters competitiveness really came out while we were playing. She was determined to win!
i was thrilled to see them playing outside together! During the winter we all spent too time on our media devices. Koob is great way to get everyone outside interacting together.
It was a close game, but my son knocked down all the koobs and then took out the king! We played several rounds and really had a blast!
The game is made of white birch, harvested from sustainable forestry practices. White birch is hardwood which gives you durable, long-lasting game set. i really love that the game is completely manufactured in Canada from local untreated hardwoods and no chemicals or preservatives are used in the process, allowing for a completely natural product.
Koob is available on Amazon for $34.95 here
