This was the best one I’ve seen. I’ll just say that the winner knocked down the king while not on the baseline.

@joecurreri1377 Жыл бұрын

She didn’t knock over all of her field kind so he Han go up to the closest one, you don’t have to go to the baseline for the king if theirs a field cube

@DukeDarkshadow Жыл бұрын

It's mentioned at 2:49 that you have to throw from the baseline to attack the king, not from a field kubb.

To make the final throw at the king kubb more interesting our house rule is to return to the original base line stand with your back to the king piece, lean over and throw between your legs.

I hope you know my wife and I think you are the single greatest game tutorial person to ever grace youtube. Years ago, we learned Gin Rummy from your channel. Then cribbage. Now Kubb! Thanks so much for making these videos, truly. You have brought us so many hours and hours of fun together and we really love spending time together playing games thanks to your videos making them so easy to learn!

I watched a bunch of tutorials and this was the best. None of the other ones were clear about how field kubbs get tossed back and forth. I thought maybe they got removed but wanted to know for sure. Having the full game run through really helped. Thanks!

I started playing this in the '90's. We called it Kungen and had slightly different rules. When a soldier was knocked over or "captured" if the team who made the hit had more batons they could ask for the soldier. Then they tossed the soldier out in the field from their baseline. Anywhere between them and the king was a fair toss. If the toss ended up past the king the piece went back to the opposing side and was stood back up in it's original position. A good toss would be right next to the king where it would be harder for the other team to knock over and get back. At this point the player with a baton or batons left could throw from the plane of the closest captured player. After all the baton's were tossed the other team would have to free their soldiers from capture before making attempts to capture the other teams soldiers. Also the soldiers were 3.75 inches square. We often played on uneven ground so the larger pieces stayed up better. Great game! I am making two sets for friends today.

In the instructions, I believe it was stated that a throw from the baseline is needed to knock down the king kubb. Is that correct? In the video, the winner throws from the closest field kubb.

@Mrmjc1423 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah that's definitely an oversight, when throwing at the king he should've stepped back behind the baseline

This game looks quite fun, if a bit lengthy when both sides are evenly matched. If you're interested in doing another lawn game video, might I suggest croquet?

@GatherTogetherGames 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, it can get long with evenly matched teams. In that case, (or for a quicker game) you can modify the rules where field kubbs are removed from the game once knocked down. Croquet is on my list of yard game tutorials to create!

This is a fun game. Buddy had a set where the kubbs had skulls painted on them and the batons had bones painted on them. Told me the Vikings played it with real skulls and leg bones. If you do another yard game can you cover Bocce?

The story that vikings played the game with skulls and femurs is apocryphal. The first mention of the game comes from the early twentieth century. But it's a fun story nonetheless.

@kylesorensen3402 2 жыл бұрын

When starting the game a 2, 4, 6 baton start is standard. If someone throws all 6 to begin with they could win the game. So start with the person going first to throw 2, the next throws 4, then continue rest of game with throwing 6.

@brianchilds5101 3 жыл бұрын

Once a field kubb is knocked over, it's out of play and not thrown back to the other side. All attempts at the king are thrown from behind the baseline.

That's not the official rule (relating to the field kubbs) in tournament play. To people saying that it takes forever to play the official way... that's why there is strategy to how you throw the field kubbs onto the field. You want them bunched together in the corners near the center line.

@rmcdaniel423 11 ай бұрын

Our local "house rules" are different in so many ways. LOL It's like we are almost playing a different game. Larger heavier uglier game pieces. Larger, more randomly laid out playing field. Deliberately throwing overhand only, like throwing simulated axes at your enemy. Kubbs get cleared from play once fallen as a captured field kubb. Can throw at field kubbs OR baseline, your choice. Play is often done one handed because you have to hold a Viking drinking horn with beer or mead in the other hand. I guess we're not "official" but it's still a pretty fun game. LOL

@johnsmith2586 2 жыл бұрын

So what if you've knocked down all of your opponent's kubbs but fail to knock over the king with the remaining batons? Does your opponent then have a chance to knock over their field kubbs and force you to then toss and knock them down again? What if you knock over all of your opponents kubbs on your last baton? You have none left to knock over the king. Does your opponent then have a chance to set you back by knocking over their field kubbs?

@zebedeesummers4413 Жыл бұрын

Yes. The game can theoretically be infinite. Once your turn is over they can undo all your progress if they are good enough. That being said, the game usually becomes easier and easier as the kubbs get moved closer to the king and/or the baseline is moved in.

There was an error at the end of the video. The king is thrown from the back boundary and not from the line of the opponent's court piece. I.e. the female player would have won the example game because the male knocked down the king. =)

You knocked over the King Kubb from a Field Kubb and not the baseline so did you actually lose? One of the rules you shared was you can only attack the Kiing from the baseline. 2:49

What happens if you knock down the last/only field kubb and a baseline kubb at the same time?

@catarinakelly9978 Жыл бұрын

It would depend on which you hit first. If you hot the field kubb first and then the baseline, it still counts as knocking down both. If you knock down the baseline kubb before the field kubb (I've seen this happen) the baseline kubb is placed back up again. It will also depend on what the players think should happen (house rules) but that needs to be established before the game begins.

@DEFarnes Жыл бұрын

You then hand over the batons to your opponent and if they didn't knock anything down then you try again next time. If they did knock anything down then on your next turn you knock down those field Kuubs and then the king.
