Kubb is a game of strategy, accuracy, and tactical defense. Teams take turns throwing their batons to knock down the opponent’s pieces. To win, a team must knock down all opposing kubbs and then successfully knock over the King in a single turn.

๐ŸŒŸ Basic Gameplay & Rules

Kubb is part strategy, part precision, part โ€œwaitโ€ฆ what just happened?โ€ Teams take turns tossing batons to knock down the other teamโ€™s wooden blocks โ€” and the board changes every single round. Hereโ€™s the lively breakdown:

The Turn Sequence

You get 6 batons each turn. Throw them underhand, endโ€‘overโ€‘end, and always from behind your baseline. Itโ€™s like bowling, but with more drama and fewer shoes.

The Field Kubbs Twist

Knocking over your opponentโ€™s baseline kubbs doesnโ€™t remove them โ€” it activates them. On your next turn, you must:

  • Pick up your fallen kubbs
  • Toss them across the field
  • Let the other team stand them up wherever they land

These become field kubbs, turning the battlefield into a shifting puzzle every round.

The Knockโ€‘Down Rule

Order matters! You must clear all kubbs on your side โ€” both baseline and field kubbs โ€” before youโ€™re allowed to attack the opponentโ€™s baseline kubbs. If thereโ€™s a block standing on your half, itโ€™s your problem first.

The King (The Final Boss)

Once every opposing kubb is toppled, you can finally aim for the King. But beware: Hit the King too early, and your team instantly loses. Hit the King after clearing everything, and you win in glorious fashion.
