The play of Kubb between the setup and the king being toppled.
Author: Garrick van Buren
Centerline
A line parallel to the baselines running through the center of the king. This line demarcates the two halves of the pitch, and the boundary is measured by the center stakes.
Center stakes
Pins staked into the ground used to mark the centerline. These pins are to be placed on the sidelines so they can be used to determine sidelines as well as the centerline.
