These rules say that field Kubbs that are knocked down by team 2 are thrown back by team 1 along with any baseline kubbs that are knocked down. Most of the rules on other sites have said that the field kubbs that are knocked down after being thrown back are removed from the field. We have played both ways and personally I like the rules you have posted. We have only played 2 times. I'm trying to bring interest in Kubb into our area. We love it! What way is the correct way to play as far as what kubbs are thrown back? Made my own set. Easy and fun to make. You can personalize it any way you want as far as paint and such.

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.
