At least I didn't hear of it in my first game yesterday outside of Eau Claire WI. I trust the native's post. Thanks for the visual rules! I'll be sharing with my bros on the east coast. Personally I had to watch the game before I could get it, but this is good. Not sure about the stacking rule. At least I didn’t hear of it in my first game yesterday outside of Eau Claire WI.

BUT, the most important thing of all, Kubb shall be played with laughter and there are different rules in different area codes. So keep the focus on having fun instead of rules and dimensions. //Erik Barrulf Since I'm Swedish I've played Kubb since birth.

We currently use duct tape wrapped around the ends but it only works so well. Just wondered if anyone else has run into this problem.

Long island iced teas are a good side dish. I had written down the dimensions of the blocks so that I could make my own set and subsequently lost them! Thanks for the great diagrams.

A throw like this would result in the body of the baton remaining relatively parallel to the ground perhaps with greater chance of success.

Vikings do not squabble. If there is a dispute, a fight to the death can determine over who makes the return or gets the extra batons. The other can watch the throws from his place in Valhalla. 2. Play like a Viking, not a lawyer. You're throwing a 3x6 inch block into a 13x26 foot space. I would say that the kubb must land entirely in bounds. 3. Everyone knows that wind is caused by the swift pass of Odin on his eight-legged horse, so to keep the competition fair, wind knocked kubbs are reset. The same is true if Thor strikes a kubb down with lightning. 1. Vikings do not squabble. If there is a dispute, a fight to the death can determine over who makes the return or gets the extra batons.

When the field kubbs are returned, must they lie entirely inside the field, or is on the line counted as within bounds? Are kubbs knocked over by wind reset or played as if hit?
