Kubb Game Premium Set

Product Information

According to the US Championship rules and World Championship rules, kubb is played on a rectangular pitch 5 metres by 8 metres. This Garden Games version of the popular game of Kubb is constructed from varnished solid beech wood, making it very durable, and comes in a smart carry bag. In New Zealand, knocking down a Baseline kubb before all field kubbs would result in the throwing team forfeiting the rest of their turn. No other markers are required to demarcate the field's boundaries, although markings that do not interfere with game play are allowed (such as chalk lines).

If a tower of 2 Kubbs is toppled by a third Kubb, then the three Kubbs are then placed in a tower - and so on. If a thrown kubb knocks over an existing baseline or field kubb, then the field kubbs are raised at the location where they rest, and baseline kubbs are raised at their original location. The first written mention of the word kubb however is dated to 1931 in a book by a Gotland native ethnologist, visiting the island Fårö.Kubb is also often referred to as Viking Chess and is a popular garden game with families allowing everyone to join in with the fun and games.

UK Kubb, the national body for Kubb in the UK, was founded in 2006 by two enthusiasts, one of whom had learned the game when on holiday in Sweden. The following rules are sometimes used but we feel that either they are not true to the spirit of the game, make the game too easy or make it overly complicated so do not recommend using them in general. If their baseline had moved up, they still need to move back to the original baseline to toss at the king. If a Kubb fails to land in the required area for a second time, then the opponents can place the miscreant Kubb anywhere they like on their side of the court, although it must be at least one stick length away from the King.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.
