How to play Kubb

Special Notes and Precautions

• Kubbs must always be thrown from behind the original baseline.
• When throwing at the King you must always throw from behind the baseline.
• If a team knocks over the King before knocking down all of the Kubb’s on their - opponents side then they lose the game. (This of course does not count when you are throwing the sticks closest to the King when determining who starts the game)
• In the case that Kubb’s are knocked down they must be thrown onto the other side of the King and stood up.
• Before each team throws their throwing sticks at the Kubbs, all Kubbs must be thrown back onto the opponent’s side of the field.
• If when throwing the Kubbs back onto your opponent’s side, you knock over another Kubb, then that Kubb is stood back up.
• If, when throwing a Kubb back it does not go past the King and you have another Kubb left to throw back, you may try and knock the first Kubb past the Kubb with the second Kubb.
• In the case that a player steps in front of the baseline when throwing a throwing stick then they forfeit that throw and any Kubbs knocked down must be thrown back up.
• In the case that a player steps in front of the baseline when throwing a Kubb back then the other team gets to place the Kubb anywhere they want to on their own side of the King.

WARNING: When your opponents are throwing make sure that you stand at least ten feet away from your baseline. Kubbs and throwing sticks can bounce unpredictably and often further than expected and can cause bodily injury. Children should play under adult supervision.
