Kubb (lawn game)

thingiverse

This game is awesome. Some call it Viking Chess, and it's pronounced 'KOOB'. Kubb is a bit like horseshoes or cornhole but with a bit more strategy and a few more things going on. Most people build a full size version and play it outside, but in rainy weather you're in luck! These smaller versions will be lots of fun to play with your Seej engines.http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:24013 Created by Todd, MakerBot Kubb Reigning Champion 2012 Instructions Look online for detailed rules, but the general play goes like this: Set up the short blocks (kubbs) on the base line, and the tall king in the center, like in the picture. Teams take turns throwing the sticks (underhand, no helicopters) at the opponents kubbs, trying to knock them down. Once kubbs are knocked down, they are thrown back to the other side of the field, and get tilted up from where they land. Make sure they land in bounds in two tries try or else the capturing team chooses their placement! Captured kubbs that hit each other when they are returned get stacked up. You can throw the sticks from your base line, or from as far forward as the farthest forward kubb you've captured. You continue throwing the sticks at your opponents kubbs until you knock them all down and get them captured onto your side. You must knock down the opponent's captured kubbs before their base line kubbs, or else it doesn't count. Once all the kubbs are captured, you can knock down the king. Don't knock down the king before this point or else you lose! Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubb and http://yardgames.us/kubb-rules.html for a more detailed explanation of the rules. -Todd
