MEASUREMENTS

Court roughly 8m x 5m, with kubbs lined up along each baseline and the king in the center.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Line up 5 kubbs along each team's baseline, with the king placed in the middle of the court.

2

Teams alternate throwing batons underhand to knock over the opposing team's kubbs.

3

Once baseline kubbs are down, the defending team throws those kubbs into the attacking team's half to become new field kubbs, which must be knocked down first in future turns.

4

A team that clears all opposing kubbs may aim for the king.

5

Knocking over the king wins the game instantly, but knocking it over too early (before all other kubbs are cleared) results in an immediate loss.
