OBJECTIVE:

To use the throwing batons to first knock down the kubbs and knock down the King

last.

PLEASE READ this WARNING and all rules before playing.

WARNING: ADULT SUPERVISION IS REQUIRED TO PLAY THIS GAME. NOT

RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE. Only use the

product as directed and obey all of the safety rules noted below. Store the

product so that it is inaccessible and out of reach of young children. The

owner of the game is responsible for ensuring that the warnings and rules are

provided to all players. Mis-thrown batons or kubbs may cause property

damage. All players are responsible to ensure that Kubb is played safely.

PLEASE PLAY THE GAME CAREFULLY. ALWAYS ERR ON THE SIDE OF

SAFETY.

Preparing to Play:

1. Ensure that the playing field is flat and clear of all obstructions.

2. Ensure that there are no objects behind the target. If there is a wall behind

the target, ensure that the wall has no windows or that the wall is composed

of materials that could not be damaged by the throwing batons or kubbs.

3. The lines at either end of the court are called Baselines. The imaginary line

parallel with the baselines through the middle of the court will be referred to

as the Middle Line.

4. Place the king in the center of the playing field, with 5 Kubbs placed at

regular intervals along each baseline - one at either end, one in the middle

and two equal distance between the first three.

5. Kubbs in their starting position on the baseline are called “Baseline Kubbs”.

As part of the game, Kubbs are thrown into the middle of the playing field

and are erected where they end up. These Kubbs are then called "Field

Kubbs".

6. Kubb is played by one team against another. You can have as many as 6

players per team and as few as 1 player per team.

SAFETY RULES:

1. Always obey the safety rules.

2. Ensure that the playing field is clear of all obstructions.

3. All participants and non-participants (including pets) must stay behind and at a

safe distance from the playing field.

4. No person should be between a player and the target at any time.

5. KEEP AWAY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN.

6. All players and non-participants should always be attentive and observe the

game at ALL times in order to avoid injury caused by mis-thrown batons or

kubbs and other such hazards.

How to Play:

1. Before beginning to play Kubb read and obey the SAFETY RULES.

DO NOT CROSS THE PATH OF THE THROWING BATONS OR

KUBBS WHILE IN PLAY.

2. Batons must always be thrown vertically and underarm. Sideways throws are not

allowed! To decide which team starts, one person from each team throws a baton as

close to the king as possible without hitting it. The team with the baton closest to the

king starts. When throwing the batons at the Kubbs it must be thrown from behind the

throwing line which is behind the Field/Baseline Kubb closest to the opponent's side.

3. The Throwing Line is a line parallel with the baseline that passes through the nearest

Kubb to the Middle Line on the player's side. If there are no field Kubbs upright then

the nearest Kubb to the King is on the baseline and so the throwing line is the

baseline.

4. Players collect any Kubbs that were knocked over during the opponent's turn. These

Kubbs are then thrown from the baseline into the opponents half of the court. If a Kubb

comes to rest outside the opponent's half of the court, players have one more chance

to toss it onto the court. If a Kubb fails to land in the required area for a second time,

then the opponents can place the Kubb anywhere they want on their side of the court,

although it must be at least one baton length away from the King.

5. In doing this, players are usually aiming to make the Kubbs land just beyond the

middle line because the nearer the Kubbs are, the easier they are to topple in the next

phase of the turn.

6. The next step is to throw the batons at the opponents Field Kubbs first (the Kubbs that

are not on the baseline). Once the Field Kubbs have been knocked down the players

can toss the batons at the Baseline Kubbs. Players must throw from behind the

Throwing Line.

7. If a baseline Kubb is toppled before all the field Kubbs have been toppled, then the

baseline Kubb is immediately returned to an upright position. It’s important to note that

all Field Kubbs must be toppled first because otherwise, the opponents will be able to

throw from a much closer point (behind the nearest Field Kubb instead of the

Baseline) during their next turn. For that reason, a good strategy is to aim at the

nearest Kubbs first - so that if any Field Kubbs are not toppled, at least the opponents

will be as far away as possible.

8. If there are any batons left over once all the Kubbs (field and baseline) on the

opponents side have been toppled, then players may aim at the King. When throwing

at the King, players must throw from behind the baseline.

9. When the team has thrown its 6 batons, the turn passes back to the first team, and the

entire procedure is repeated.

OBJECTIVE: How to Play: To use the throwing batons to first knock down the kubbs and knock down the King last. PLEASE READ this WARNING and all rules before playing. 1.

Winning the game: If the King is knocked over by a thrown Kubb or by a baton before all the Kubbs on the opponent's side have been toppled, then the team that knocked it over loses and their opponents have won. Otherwise, the game is won by the team that first topples all the Kubbs on the opponents half of the court and then topples the King from behind the baseline. If the king is knocked over before all the Kubbs have been knocked over, the opposing (non-throwing) team wins.

Comment gagner la partie: Si le roi est renversé par un kubb lancé ou par une matraque avant que tous les Kubbs du côté de l'adversaire aient été renversés, alors l'équipe qui l'a renversé perd la partie. Dans le cas contraire, le jeu est gagné par l'équipe qui a d'abord renversé tous les kubbs sur la moitié de jeu de leur adversaire et qui a ensuite renversé le roi. AVERTISSEMENT : LA SUPERVISION D’UN ADULTE EST NÉCESSAIRE POUR JOUER À CE JEU. DÉCONSEILLÉ POUR LES ENFANTS DE MOINS DE 13 ANS.

Autre façon plus courte de jouer et gagner: Voici quelques règles simplifiées pour le jeu de kubbs. Il peut s’agir aussi de quelques règles si vous souhaitez un jeu plus court et plus rapide. Certaines règles stipulent qu'une fois qu'un kubb a été renversé deux fois, il est retiré du terrain de jeu. Cela aura pour effet de raccourcir le jeu considérablement. Cela offre une formule de jeu plus rapide, idéale pour les jeunes enfants entre autres.
