What happens if a Kubb Game block is knocked over, but it stands back up again on its own?

Due to the force of impact with the ground, Kubb Game blocks can easily fall over and then bounce back up again, righting themselves again. Because the block did fall over initially it is considered a valid hit and should be considered out of play.

Does it count if a baton hits one Kubb Game block which in turn falls on top of another block, knocking it over?

Yes. Kubb Game blocks can be knocked over by either the baton or another Kubb Game block that hits it during that round of play.

Can more than one Kubb Game block be knocked over with the same throw of the baton?

Yes. Many times Kubb Game blocks will end up standing in close proximity to each other. However many Kubb Game blocks you manage to hit with the baton during each throw counts as a valid hit and should be considered out of play.

What happens if when throwing the Kubb Game blocks over to the other side between rounds they land outside the playing field area or do not make it past the king line?

The team throwing the Kubb Game blocks has two tries to get the blocks to land inside the playable area of the field. If this does not happen, the opposite team can then place that block anywhere they like within their side of the playing field. However, it must remain at least one Kubb Game block away from the king or any of their two corner markers.

What if a Kubb Game team knocks over a baseline block before they knock over all of the field blocks?

It should be stood up again immediately after it occurs and it remains a baseline Kubb because it was illegally attacked.

What if the last field Kubb is knocked over, but as a result a baseline Kubb is knocked over as well?

As long as the field Kubb was hit by the baton first, both the field Kubb and the baseline Kubb are considered hit. The Kubb Game team can continue throwing their batons at the remaining baseline Kubbs if they have any left. If that is the last baton thrown then the knocked over baseline Kubb now becomes a field Kubb and must be thrown over to the other side of the field.

What happens if the Kubb Game king is accidentally knocked over with a flying Kubb Game block?

If this happens then the Kubb Game team who is throwing automatically loses the game. This rule can be adjusted, however, particularly if the king falls accidentally as the result of being hit by a flying block. The king can be replaced and play continues as normal. However, if the king is knocked over from a direct hit by a baton, the game is over and the throwing team loses.

What happens if a Kubb Game team is attacking the king, but they do not manage to knock the king over after all of their baton throws have been used?

The Kubb Game would continue as usual. The match is not over until the king goes down, so if a team is unsuccessful at this task then the Kubb Game match continues.

Can Kubb Game blocks be stacked on top of each other if they land in the same spot?

Yes. If, when throwing the field Kubbs across to the other side, they end up touching each other upon landing then the Kubb blocks can be stacked on top of each other. This is for the throwing team to decide if they want to stack Kubbs or not. The Kubb blocks are thrown one at a time, so as they are thrown, they are stacked. If another Kubb block hits the stack, it is then restacked three blocks high, etc. This Kubb Game rule is variable, however, so allowing Kubb block stacking should be agreed upon before the Kubb Game match begins.

Why would you want to stack Kubb Game blocks?

Rather than knocking over one Kubb block at a time with a baton, you would have the opportunity to knock over multiple Kubb blocks with that same baton if they are stacked.

What do you do with Kubb Game blocks if you do not want to use the stacking rule?

The Kubb Game blocks should be stood upright as normal. They can be stood up in whatever direction the defensive Kubb Game team chooses.

What happens if a Kubb Game block lands exactly on the imaginary line marked off by the corner stakes?

A general agreement of what is considered in bounds and out of bounds should be discussed before the Kubb Game match begins. Usually, if the Kubb block lands here it can be righted up to stand inside the Kubb Game playing field. Remember, this is a game of fun and integrity, so arguing over something so miniscule is not acceptable in Kubb Game.

What if a team is unable to knock over any of the baseline Kubbs?

This may indicate that the Kubb Game playing field is too long. This can occur when playing with teens who are unable to throw very far. You can shorten the size of the Kubb Game playing field to accommodate a team that is unable to reach the baseline Kubbs.

What if teens and adults are playing Kubb Game together? How is that fair?

When playing Kubb Game with players of varying ages, heights, or skill levels, a handicap can be given to the disadvantaged players. For instance, if an adult is playing Kubb Game with a teen, the teen should be given a two or three pace advantage. For example, the adult must stand behind the baseline when throwing the baton, but the teen can stand two to three paces closer to make it easier for them to hit the Kubb blocks on the other side. This should never go past the king line, however. If this is necessary then the Kubb Game playing field should be shortened.

What happens if the Kubb Game is taking too long and the players are ready to end the game?

If Kubb Games are taking too long to win it might indicate that the playing field is too big, so you may want to forfeit the game and begin again with a smaller field. However, keep in mind that Kubb Game is a game of strategy, so it can easily last several hours. If a Kubb Game team does choose to quit, then the remaining Kubb Game team will be named the winner.
