I was the person who taught Tom how to play Crokinole! Origins in '06 or so, I brought my board so that he could play since he never had. At the time he said he didn't like it as much as Pitch Car. :)

I priced some crokinole boards about 20 years ago. I decided it would be cheaper to make my own, so I did. I did buy the men (disks) though. Still have it today, many good times with it.

One thing you forgot to mention is the crokinole discs are convex on one side and concave on the other. Convex is a shot that slides further with less speed by getting air underneath whereas concave doesn't slide or lift as easy for higher speed shots.

a question for Tom: do you still have your Crokinole board? and often do you play with it?

This game will always remind me of my childhood. My grandmother had a home made crokinole board that my grandfather made in the 1940s. Great memories!

We've been playing it at home a lot lately. We've settled on a variant where everyone gets one "mulligan" (redo) on one shot that doesn't connect with any other pieces. If you choose not to use it the whole game then those players get +5 points at the end. It's pretty fun!

Carrom was born in India a long time ago. then came billiards that was inspired by carrom. and now it crokinole which is inspired by billiards. board games are always like that they keep inspiring more game to come out. that is why our world is filled with them.

A real Canadian Crokinole board should include Robertson screws not Philips. I hope this was not made in Canada.

Is that a hospital band on your wrist? More kids (extra players) on the way?

@eviltofutube Seconded! Carrom is great but it's so hard to find people to play it with. Tom would love it (if, that is, he doesn't already know about it).

Crokinole came from the Mennonite communities in central Canada. I hardly think their influence would have been billiards simply because they wouldn't have ever exposed themselves to "unGodly" big city games.

It reminds me of Carrom, which I love but don't play often because I can't find any good boards I can afford.
