Part of our interview with Martin Wærn from Letters From America. What makes kubb special? So many things, but perhaps what it is at its core is the most. The discussion topics, pace, format, and space were perfect. Thanks again Martin.

Here is the link to the interview and the different platforms to watch and/or listen. Martin's Letters from America interview will introduce 1,000s more people to the beautiful game of kubb. We are so appreciative to be on his 12-month road trip podcast.
Also, thank you to Embassy of Sweden in USA Volvo Car USA Airstream Volvo Trucks for partnering with Martin on his journey. Without that partnership, so many stories would not be told.
Eric Anderson - how a Swedish game made a footprint in the city of Eau Claire (and the entire United States) — LETTERS FROM AMERICA Eric's enthusiasm is unmatched by anyone I have ever met. His love for the Swedish lawn game Kubb is both deep and contagious - and his mission to spread this peace-making "war game" across America has not only made a Swedish footprint in the city of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, but has also bui

We will be expanding the maximum number of teams.
Sunday is group play with eight groups of four teams, followed by bracket play.
We have formed a Hospitality Committee to help connect international teams with U.S. teams and families to help with tournament needs like tents, chairs, coolers, etc.

What an amazing weekend. So honored to receive this commemorative jubilee coin from the Embassy of Sweden in USA.
Friday and Saturday, we had the opportunity to tell our story of kubb in Eau Claire and in the U.S. to Martin Wærn, who is doing a 12-month roadtrip podcast discovering Swedish footprints in the U.S. He interviewed our director Eric Anderson.
The Swedish Embassy is partnering with Martin on his journey. Before departing Washington DC, Swedish Ambassador Ahlin gave Martin a collection of Jubilee Challenge Coins, that highlight the long collaboration between the two countries, as Sweden was one of the first countries to recognize the U.S., in 1783. These coins were to be given for significant achievements and/or contributions to the Swedish/American relationship.
Thank you very much Ambassador Ahlin, we are super honored, and thank you Martin for making your way to Eau Claire and wanting to hear about kubb.
We are not done yet. We are so excited for our 20th Championship in 2027, and beyond.
We highly recommend following Martin’s journey throughout the U.S. The podcasts and short interviews are a great and interesting look at both our history and many current communities in our country, and the photos and videos he is taking of our beautiful country are amazing.
Volvo Car USA Volvo Trucks Airstream and Swedish Embassy thanks for partnering with Martin on his journey. Without that, he isn’t able to tell our story, so many other stories, and we would have not had the opportunity to meet him.
