World Championship Rules from the annual World Championships in Gotland, Sweden.

There are a variety of sets of rules that people can play. Some of these rules make the game shorter and some make the game longer. The three major game options are as follows:

1) if/when a kubb is out of play,
2) when a team can move up to throw throwing pins, &
3) stacking.

If/when kubbs are out of play:
1) a kubb is never out of play. (Eau Claire tournament)
2) a kubb is out of play after the first hit in the field. The kubb is originally hit as it sits on the baseline, then again after that team has tossed it in the field.

When to move ahead to the advance line:
1) a team can move up to the closest field kubb to the king if any field kubbs are left standing in their half and then take aim at field kubbs in the other half and then baseline kubbs. (Eau Claire tournament)
2) a team can only move up to the closest field kubb to the king when there are no field kubbs standing in the other half.

Stacking kubbs:
1) if field kubbs hit, they are placed next to each other so that they are touching.
2) if field kubbs hit, they are stacked vertically.
3) field kubbs are placed up where they rest, even if they have touched. (Eau Claire tournament)
