Real talk
Buy once. Play for life.
A Kubb set bought in 1998 is still in the cupboard. That's the maths on a Jaques game. This solid wood Viking game costs more upfront because it's made to outlast every fad, survive sand and weather, and sit in your shed for 20 years waiting for the next family gathering. No plastic to crack. No pieces to lose.
You'll never buy this category again. Your child will play it at their own child's birthday.
Joe Jaques, Jaques of London

While they play
What Kubb quietly teaches
Looks like play. Works like a lesson.
Aim and precision
Throwing accurately isn't guesswork. Kids learn to read distance, adjust grip, and measure their throw. Same skill that builds through darts, archery, lawn bowls.
Strategy and teamwork
Do you knock the outer kubbs first or rush the king? Do you defend or attack? Family teams find their own tactics. No two games play the same.
Fine motor and fitness
Throwing uses your whole arm. Bending, reading angles, adjusting stance. Kids get moving without noticing they're exercising.
Turn-taking and focus
Everyone plays together at their own pace. No screens, no rush. Natural breaks for chat, water, laughter. That's where the real memory-making happens.

Questions & answers
Questions gift-givers ask us
Buying for a 6-year-old birthday. Is this the one?
Yes. At 6, they can throw the baton accurately and play proper games with older siblings or parents. The rules take 90 seconds to learn. If they're younger (3,5), they'll love throwing the baton and watching it knock kubbs, but you'll be calling the strategy shots. Either way, solid wood means it survives rough play. Catherine McCulloch said it best: 'perfect gift for any babies' 1st birthday', it grows with them.
Will it arrive in time for the weekend?
Order by 2pm, and your Kubb set ships within 2,3 business days. If you need it faster for a specific date, check the delivery calendar at checkout. Leigh Hemmings told us: 'arrived next day, saved Christmas', so speed is real when it counts. It arrives in a ribbon-tied gift box, no wrapping needed.
Why does it cost more than the plastic version?
Solid wood doesn't crack in sun, doesn't warp after 3 weeks in the shed, and doesn't get lost because the pieces are too light to find in the grass. Play it for 10 years and the cost per game is pennies. Manda Monium said it plain: 'worth every penny full price'. You're buying once instead of buying twice.
Is it actually good quality or just vintage branding?
Both. The wood is sustainably sourced and hand-finished so each set feels slightly different, like a real craft object. It has weight, balanced throw, and no cheap plastic. John A said it: 'Not the usual tat from China'. Karen Pepper added: 'Toys that don't break after five minutes of play'. 60-day guarantee backs it up,play it risk-free until 31 January 2027.

Our story
Making toys worth keeping since 1795.
Jaques of London was founded in 1795. We invented croquet, table tennis, and the Staunton chess set. For 230 years, we've been making things that pull children away from passive entertainment and into active, curious, hands-on play.
Kubb arrived at Jaques in 2009 as a Swedish classic we loved too much to ignore. For nearly 15 years we've been making it the only way we know: solid wood, hand-finished in Britain, no shortcuts. It's the kind of game that shows up at a birthday, dominates the afternoon, gets packed for beach trips, and sits in a cupboard for a decade before the next generation pulls it out. That's why families buy it once. We built it so they'd never need to buy it again.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
