How To Play Kubb

Hello and welcome to how to play Kube presented by gather together games dot com .

This video will cover how to play the yard game cube .

The video will start with the general concepts and they get into more of the details for the game .

The video will conclude with an example round of cube .

The game is played with 2 to 12 players to play .

You will need a cube game set that includes boundary stakes , throwing batons , cubes and a king cube set up the cube playing area by placing the boundary stakes , 5 m apart on the baselines and 8 m apart on the sidelines , five cubes are placed on each baseline and the king cube is placed in the middle of the playing area .

The object of the game is to knock down all the cubs on the opposing side of the playing area and then knock down the king cub to win .

Before the game begins , a player from each side will throw a baton toward the king cob .

The player closest to the king gets to go first in the game .

The winner with the closest baton to the king will start the game by throwing all six batons with the goal of knocking down as many Cubs as possible .

A player will throw all six batons when playing one on one .

If there are multiple players per team , the batons will be split between the players as evenly as possible .

Any coops that are knocked over are thrown to the opponents side of the field .

The Throne Cobe is set up right where it came to rest .

Any coop thrown is known as a field coop .

All field cubes must be knocked over before going for a cube on the baseline .

The batons are picked up and it is the second players or teams turn to throw .

Teams will take turns throwing batons and sending knocked down Cubs to the other side of the field .

Once a team has all the coops knocked down on the opposing side of the field , the king coop can be attacked .

The game is won when the king cob is knocked down , the baton must be thrown end over end and underarm .

A team gets to throw the batons from the closest cube .

For example , this field Cobe was not knocked down on the previous team's throws .

So the cube's position on the field becomes the new line to throw from knocked down Cubs are always thrown from the baseline .

If a Cobe is thrown out of bounds , it is known as a fault .

After two fault throws for a cube , the opposing team will place the cube anywhere on their half of the field .

A field Cobe must be at least one baton length away from the king .

Field cobs must be knocked down before baseline coops .

If a baseline coop is knocked down before a field coop , the baseline cobe is stood back up .

This position is an example of how Stockfish has ruined one aspect of chess .

Let me explain what I mean by that .

This was a puzzle that was created in 1959 by a man named Victor Evanov .

If I'm pronouncing that correct correctly , he was a Russian composer , created over 100 studies and this particular one was a first prize winner .

So they used to have these composing tournaments where different uh chess players would submit composed problems .

They had judges , the judges would look at all the different puzzles and then they would decide , OK , this is the best one and this one won first prize in 1959 .

So there was something special about it which I'm gonna show you in just a second .

However , when you plug this position into stockfish , stockfish finds a flaw with the solution .

It says , nope , it doesn't work .

And , and you know , that is something that would not have happened back in 1959 .

OK .

Chest engines , I believe they actually were invented .

My opponent goes and is only able to hit two of the field cubes .

I throw the cubes back over .

I now get to throw closer by standing in line with the field cobe still on my side of the field .

The game continues this way with my opponent and me taking turns .

I am able to knock down all the remaining Cubs and the king Kub to win the game that wraps up how to play Kube .
