Or if you're feeling particularly crafty, you can try to make your own set from scratch - most of the games in the list have a pretty simple premise. Most games will be available through places like Target, Barnes & Noble, Scheels or. To help you impress and entertain your friends and family for the rest of the season, we've compiled a list of lesser-known lawn games with strange names like molkky, rollors and kanjam.

Krueger has certainly convinced Olson and Young of the game's appeal - the men always play it and teach it to friends when they host summer barbeques at their house. "Who knows, maybe someday instead of horseshoes there'll be kubb fields in Moorhead." "That's really what attracted me to it," he says. In the past few years, Krueger says he's seen more and more people playing kubb in the area, and he thinks the game's Scandinavian background could be a big reason why. Krueger teaches the game at the center's annual Scandinavian festival. Olson learned of kubb a few years ago from his friend, Markus Krueger, the Hjemkomst Center's visitor services coordinator.

"It can be hard to get the range down right, and it takes new players a little bit to understand how it works," he says, as he lobs one of his batons end-over-end towards Young's side. Kubb also has an element of strategy that makes it more than just a regular throwing game.
