Who can play Koob?
A basic throw is an underhand toss, so Koob can be played by anyone interested in a social and competitive game.
Kids are natural game players. We teach them the basic rules and they quickly discover how to apply them. Kids grasp the importance of the strategy of Koob more quickly than adults. Watch kids figure out the consequences of their strategies and you will appreciate the joy of games.
Where can Koob be played?
Play Koob on grass, sand, snow, or carpeting. Each surfaces changes the feel of the game. Playing on grass requires more accuracy than playing on carpet, for example. Playing Koob as a beach game allows teams to concentrate on their defense because the pieces don't slide or bounce in the sand as they do on grass. Koob is also portable and waterproof.
Koob is portable - packaged in a shoulder bag - and sets up easily, making it an ideal activity for scouting and camping adventures.
