The king must waitSourced
Toppling it too soon loses the game
Kubb uses thrown wooden batons to knock down the opponent’s blocks, with a larger king in the center. Under the US championship rules, knocking over the king while opposing blocks remain immediately loses the game. The final target is not an early shortcut.
The most prominent target comes with a timing condition.
