a game my brother made up

Name: Animal Kubb (pronounced Koob)
What you need: "1,000 plastic animals" (more like 20 or more)
How do you get started? "You pick out your animals." (equally, taking turns like choosing a team in kickball)
How do you play? "You take turns throwing your biggest animal and trying to knock down all the other persons animals. So, whatever animals you knock down in a turn, you collect and add to your team of animals." (There's one throw for each turn, I think they say that a leaning animal counts as one knocked over. Oh! And NO sidearm throws!)
How do you win? "Winning is knocking down and collecting all the other person's animals." (Over the course of several turns. This game can last hours!)
