KoobTM is an outdoor/lawn game played by
teams of one to six people. The playing area is flexible and
doesn't require any special preparation. Koob can be played on
grass, sand, or snow. Indoors, Koob can be played on carpet, mats,
or rubber court.
We bring you Koob made of durable, renewable, hardwood and
packaged in a zippered pack-cloth shoulder bag. The detailed
instructions contain tips on strategy and are printed on
waterproof paper.
The game begins with an area approximately
5yds x 7yds. Just pace it off and mark the corners with the pegs.
Five blocks, or koobs, are set-up on each of two baselines. The
king is placed in the center of the playing area.
The team to start is
determined by an initial toss of sticks. One member of each team
throws towards the king and the stick that lands closest to the
king, without knocking it over goes first. Each team throws six
sticks per turn trying to topple the blocks on their opponent's
baseline. Once blocks are knocked over, they are in play. The
strategy of the game is managing the blocks that are in play. A
team wins by toppling everything on their opponent's side of the
field and then knocking over the king. (Don't worry, complete
instructions are included with the game.)
Players of different
abilities (or kids and adults) can play Koob together because the
more skilled player can play a pace behind so each person can play
at their own level. The area of play can also be shortened or
lengthened depending on the skill of the
players.
