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.
This was the best one I’ve seen. I’ll just say that the winner knocked down the king while not on the baseline.
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
It's mentioned at 2:49 that you have to throw from the baseline to attack the king, not from a field kubb.

The sped up game at the end really helped get my head round this game. Thank you 😁
agreed, its such a great way to learn!
By far the best, simplest, quickest explanation of basic gameplay. Thx!
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!
Thank you for the explanation as well as the sample game. I now have a much better understanding of how the field kubbs are played
I was at a family party last year and it was just described as "a [Nordic](probably the wrong country) game, it can take hours to finish". So I just sat to the side. but now I feel somewhat confident. thank you!
This was the first video I came to for the rules of play. Based on previous comments it looks like I chose wisely. The instructions in the game set weren't making too much sense for me, but this video was easy to understand. Thanks so much!
Thank you this was the simplest, quickest explanation I have come across.
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.
Yeah that's definitely an oversight, when throwing at the king he should've stepped back behind the baseline
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!
This is great to hear and always happy to help!
Finally a kubb video that's clear and concise.
The most clear, precise, and amazing Kubb explanation I have watched. The game at the end was very helpful! Thanks!!!
Glad it helped!
best description of it yet!
You get an A+++ for this video. So well done. Thank you.
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?
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!
Excellent - thanks for the explanation.
best tutorial i found on kubb
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.
Wow! That was a really clear, helpful explanation!
I had no patience reading the actual game rules xD
Great instruction brilliant game.
Many thanks, great "How to" video
Thanks buddy
That was super helpful. Are there rules on the sizes of the pieces etc. I build all sorts of stuff out of wood (not chess pieces without a lathe) but this game would be a great use of my stockpile!
great video, very insightful, audios cooked
Good demo thanks! Although, did you stand behind the base line to knock over the King Kubb...?
Finally a tutorial where cole isnt all by himself lol. I'm guessing you're already planning this, but would you be interested in doing bean bag toss (or cornhole as some people insist on erroneously calling it)?
It seems to me that in the sample game the king was knocked down from the starting line not the baseline, but the video says the king must be knocked down from the baseline. Was this an oversight? or am I mistaken?
Thanks!
Thank you!!
Gracias
I love how he explained the rules and broke them to win lol. He didn't go back to the back line to throw for the king.
But good explanation
At 2:48 you said throws must be made from the baseline when attacking the king Kubb, but at the end did you not attack the king from where you were standing next to the field Kubb? Great video, just looking for clarification.
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?
Yes, Bocce is on my list of yard game tutorials to create!
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.
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.
Im sure this is the rule I play, otherwise knocking over all the field kubbs is madness!
@@kevindabbs7834 else you play forever :D
This is the way I play as well. Makes for shorter matches and easier to play.
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.
Hey! I was wondering if you could make a tutorial video on how to play 29 card game...that would really help...and man really appreciate your job!...keep it up❤
I will add 29 to the requested tutorial list!
I'd really love to get to learn that....thank you❤
Oh man... If I followed correctly, I think you were supposed to have thrown from the baseline to knock down the King. Was that a mistake?
4 on a Couch or Pickleball. Or maybe even The Scissors Game
What happens if i knock out all the base kubbs but don't have any baton left to hit the king? Does the opponent still get to throw all the fallen kubbs? thank you
Yes, the opponent would throw the fallen kubbs and take their turn
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
Kübb beans 😎
What happens if you knock down the last/only field kubb and a baseline kubb at the same time?
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.
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?
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.
I thought you said the king kubb toss had to be from the baseline.
Hail Oden!
Please do more card game tutorials on channel.
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 all of the oppenents kubbs but fail to knock down the king?
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.
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.
Jump over or under King Kubba to axe the drawbridge and save the princess.
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 didn’t knock the king kubb from the baseline
The guy cheated at the end--didn't throw the king-hitting throw from the baseline :P
I thought it was Queen kubb 🤔
HE DIDNT THROW FROM THE BASELINE AT THE KING!!!! HE LOST!!!
Who? Opponent and me? But not opponent and I?
You lost! You knocked down the king from in front of the base line instead of it!
Umm...all attempts for the King must be made from the baseline. Lol.
OMG! Throwing wooden objects! Someone might get killed! We need stop this 🤪
sisisisi no no no no
Wrong stack him
Cheated at the end though. Smh
this aint 26' apart lol this setup is so close
