Her borther brought a set to a music festival we went to last summer and everyone loved it. We had all kinds of people asking questions and watching us play. Thanks all the info.

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.

You lost me at step 1! Very good illustrations and stitched panoramic photo, though. :) Do these instructions seem Ikea-like to anyone else? You lost me at step 1!

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?
