Description Edit | History

This game 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.
More Information Edit | History

History

The game is of uncertain origin, however the first authenticated board was made by a Mennonite sign painter in Ontario in 1876, and the game has remained particularly popular among Canadian Mennonites. It was patented in 1880. It is also called Pichenotte.

17 Crokinole Rules Booklet for Hilinski Board Box
Crokinole Rules, rearranged from rules at www.crokinoleworld.com, resized to make an 8 page tiny booklet, that fits inside the wooden disc box available with Hilinski boards. (Oh, the 8 1, 6 3, etc are the page numbers. They are outside the cut lines. They are there just to tell you how to arrange the pages.)

6 Quick history and rules cards
Use these cards to hand out to people that have never seen the game and are curious. Print landscape and two per page then flip the page over and print the other side. That way you can cut down the middle so each side will have all the information. Take them with your board down to the pub and hand them out when you are playing so you can take more time taking your shots instead of explaining this great game to people.
