Crokinole is like shuffleboard in the round. Players take turns flicking disks on a board, trying to score points by attaining central regions. The main stipulation being that contact with the other teams' pieces must be made in order for the disk to remain on the board afterward. Although the game uses quite a bit of skill to flick the disks, there's a very significant strategy element to the game. There are many different variants and rules, as this game is very old and has had many different incarnations over the years. Description from the manufacturer:This is the nicest Crokinole board on the market and worth paying a little more for. This hand crafted collectible from Jett Games is made in Canada with a Maple veneer playing surface with 32 mm hole. Maple veneer is used for its natural smoothness and consistency. It has Screen Printed black score lines for Crokinole on the front and Checkers on the back. The hefty rails are Solid Ash and the it has durable plastic pegs. Measuring 28-1/2'' side to side, it is also slightly larger than standard crokinole boards. On the reverse side is a standard 8 x 8 checkered board that can be used for chess or checkers. This is a well built, quality board that will be passed down from generation to generation. We like to hang ours on the game room wall. It looks great and is always handy for a game.
