This, combined with the fact that there is a certain level of strategy that can be used by players, has led some players and kubb fans to nickname the game "<A title="Viking" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking">Viking</A> Chess." However, unlike chess, if a player or team knocks over the king before achieving their objectives, that player/team immediately loses the game. Some games have been known to last for hours.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kubb&oldid=301156640"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/en.wikipedia.org/img/96E07B75-2B5B-40D8-90C9-0B2D1529F5E5" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kubb&oldid=301156640"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/en.wikipedia.org/img/0E07CB9E-56CB-4BC8-B7F4-F8DF76899146" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kubb&oldid=301156640"><DIV class="thumbinner"><A title="Game Setup" class="image" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kubb350px.JPG"><IMG height="300" width="180" class="thumbimage" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/32/Kubb350px.JPG/180px-Kubb350px.JPG" alt="" /></A> <DIV class="thumbcaption"> <DIV class="magnify"><A title="Enlarge" class="internal" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kubb350px.JPG"><IMG height="11" width="15" alt="" src="http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png" /></A></DIV> Game Setup</DIV> </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C4A220EE-DD94-4F0C-A032-B1DE35D17B3A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
