Gather your clan and prepare for an evening of Nordic competition, camaraderie, and cinematic adventure!
Join The Swedish Club and the National Nordic Museum for a special screening of , the acclaimed documentary that dives into the surprising world of one of Scandinavia’s most beloved games. More than a backyard pastime, kubb is a battle of strategy, skill, and nerve—where wooden batons fly, rivalries are forged, and champions are crowned.
Set against the backdrop of the U.S. National Kubb Championship in Eau Claire, Wisconsin—the Kubb Capital of North America—Kings of Kubb follows four elite competitors as they pursue glory on the pitch. Along the way, the film reveals a compelling story of friendship, ambition, legacy, and the age-old question: what does it take to become king?
