• The score depends on the distance. Each kubb knocked down scores points based on the number of meters from which it was hit. A knocked down king counts at twice the distance in which distance round it was hit. A hit 8m kubb in the bonus round simply counts as 8 points.
• Example 1: Three hits with 6 throws at 6m: 3*6=18
• Example 2: Five hits with 6 throws at 7m: 5*7=35
• Example 3: Five hits with 5 throws at 7m: 5*7=35
• Additional hit with the 6th throw on the king: additional 2*7=14 points
• Example 4: Two hits with three throws in the bonus round: 2*8=16
• If more than one kubb is knocked down with a throwing stick, only the first one counts. In this case, the other kubbs that are collaterally hit are put back in place immediately after the hit and the game continues.
