Beer Kimble RULEZ

Kimble is a traditional board game, but if you don't own a board, you can also play the virtual version.

GOAL

The goal is to get your four men in maali/mål, finish your beers and make sure that the other players are drunk as rabbits.

BEGINNING

In the beginning the one who gets the highest number begins. When a player doesnt have any men going round the board, he has three (3) shots with the dice. If he gets 6, he can move the first man to start and throw again. Note that the player has to move his man if its possible.

PLAYING

The players throw the dice and try to reach another player and eat him. It is also legal to try to make an agreement with other team/s that you dont eat each other but kick others asses together.

ENDING

The game ends when somebody has all men in the goal and he has drunken all his beer. If you feel like starting a new game right away, you have probably not played the game in the right way!

IMMUNITY

When a player has his man in his own start the man can not be eaten. If another player comes to that spot at the same time when you are there, he gets eaten and has to do the penalty.

Jag bor I hembo

If the player gets eaten and all his men end up being in the home base hembo, the player has to say Jag bor I hembo before the next team reaches the dice. If he doesnt do that, he gets the penalty (so an extra penalty in addition to the one he already got when coming back to home base). The players are not allowed to say Jag bor I hembo just for fun, if they do so, they will get penalty.

DOUBLING

If the player throws two 6s in the row, he can double, that means turning the man upside down, putting the other man in DOUBLE and making it twice as worthy. If your double gets eaten by a single, you have to drink two penalties and if your double eats somebody, he has to drink twice as much. When a double eats double, you drink 4 times as much and so on. See also Tripling

TRIPLING

Same as doubling, but you have to get three 6s in a row to be able to do it and you have to drink minimum of 3 penalties.

RAISING

If every team has one man in the goal already and you get 6, you can raise. Raising means that every team has to take one man from the goal and return it to home base and everybody gets a penalty. The same team cannot raise again before all the other teams have raised once.

VERSION 1.1 and 1.2

There are different versions of Beer Kimble depending on how professional Kimble player you are.

Professional Kimble

In the most professional Kimble you have 45 seconds time to serve your sentence and drink a bottle of 5,2% beer. If you have been eaten by a double you can breath and relax 30 seconds before starting with the 2nd beer, so altogether it can take 45s+30s+45s=2 minutes They same formula is used with triples etc. Proff Kimle is a team game and each team consists of 2 players. Only one of the two team members has to drink and the team can decide by itself which one is the one getting punished at that time.

Leisure Kimble

Leisure Kimble can be either team or individual game. If teams are used, all players in one team have to drink up the punishment and not just one like in Proff Kimble. Leisure Kimble is often played with half a bottle penalties and one doesnt have to drink the beer right away in certain time, but it can be saved as buffer. However, to be able to win the team has to finish all its beers.

Have nice nights and mornings with Kalja-Kimble!
