Kubb

Kubb or Viking chess is an entertaining game of skill from Sweden that is played outdoors on grass or sand. Whether as a pair or in larger groups – Kubb is fun, exercise and team spirit.

Knock down all the opposing team’s kubbs (wooden blocks) first, then finally hit the king (the
large central block) — but do not hit the king before all kubbs are down.

• 1 King (larger central block)
• 10 Kubbs (same size)
• 6 throwing sticks
• 4 corner markers
• Playing field: approx. 5 x 8 meters (officially also 5 x 10 meters

2 – 12 (2 teams with 1 to 6 players each)

1. Setup

• Each team places 5 kubbs along their baseline.
• The king is placed in the center of the field.
• The starting team is chosen by lot.
2. Turns
• Attack: Team A throws 6 throwing sticks from their baseline trying to knock down the
base kubbs of Team B.
• Kubbs in the field: The knocked-down kubbs are thrown by Team B into Team A’s half
and stood upright there (these are called field kubbs).
• Response by Team B: Before Team B can attack Team A’s base kubbs, they must first
knock down all the field kubbs. If they fail, their turn ends immediately.
• End of the game: Once all opponent kubbs are knocked down, a team may try to knock
down the king. Hitting the king too early results in an immediate loss.
Important rules
• Throwing sticks must be thrown with a horizontal spin and underhand.
• If a thrown kubb lands outside the field twice, the opposing team may place it anywhere
in their half of the field.
• If a team fails to knock down any kubbs during their turn, the opposing team may
advance and throw from the position of the nearest field kubb in their next turn.
