just had recently discovered your channel looking for Hegemony reviews ( great review and awesome game btw) and you easily became my new fav boardgame channel! Patreon Support incoming. Keep up the great work!
A little suggestion - decorate/design something on back of Your boards. Make it individual, make it Your own etc. Make it someything like GMM blindfolds or just collage of Your top10 games ever.
Great review! I loved that you played it during the review. My brother-in-law and I played this at Origins Game Fair 2024. We loved it! I bought a bundle online (new boards at Origins were sold out and I didn't want one from their open-play area). Definitely expensive, but it will last a long time and get many plays.
When scoring, you actually subtract the lower score from the higher. So for that first round, JT would have 5 and JG would have 0. An alternate, and I think better way to score, is after each round, if you have the most points, you score 2 points, and if you tie, you each score 1. Then whoever gets to a set number of points wins the match (usually anywhere from 7-11 points)
Fantastic vid. Still the best reviews on UA-cam. I played this at my local convention and wanted one but couldn’t justify the price. But I will. Soon. Too soon
Carrooka also well worth a look. Circular wooden board with 6 'pockets' around the circumference. The pucks are coloured like snooker or pool balls, depending which game you prefer. A more fluid and indeed more cerebral game than crokinole IMO.
Awesome channel, videos and humor ... keep it up. Ice cool is also already in my collection. Nice! By the way, any chance you can put the link or source in the comments for this beautiful crocinole board of yours? Thx guys
I love you guys. Only thing is I think you were scoring incorrectly. I was taught at the end of the round you subtract the total scores of each player and the higher player gets the difference of those two scores.

Love that you guys also played the game through the review. Nice touch and people can actually see how the game is played. Another outstanding review!
Glad you enjoyed it!
All the Janis hangs out here
I grew up playing this awesome game in Nova Scotia. Having a great board is important.
I allways wondered what this archaic beast is doing in BGG Top 100. Looks cool.

Makes us happy that you enjoy our content! :))
As a Canadian I'm stoked the game I grew up with is finally getting international acclaim
Jealous you had it as a kid! Would have loved it even more back then!

That's an amazing idea! Thank you!
Thought I would never buy this and still watched. Your enthousiasm and entertainment shines onto me and now I would even maybe buy it
Same here. I have no interest at all in this game, but because the channel is so entertaining, I watched anyhow -- and actually enjoyed the video.
Glad you decided to watch it! Thank you for the support :)
Finally, 100% best dexterity game there is :)
Agreed

Great video! "they sleeve their games. They print custom inserts for their games. I think they're OK" 😂😂😂
Even though I don't consider Crokinole a board game, that was a really fun watch 😅 Great idea to play it during the review too!
It's a game you play on a board. What more you want lol
@@supersmashedbros Change it to flicking meeples about and I'll agree with ya 😜

Yeah this is the better way to score as it prevents blowout wins. It's how they score in Crokinole tournaments.
Thanks for the suggestion! Will try it!

Update: have now purchased a nice board after my partner played and really enjoyed
Great video guys! congrats!
wow guys your alternatives were awesome, I just researched about them and loop super cool. Love your reviews, keep them that way :)
Glad you liked them!
Do you have a link for your crokinole board? Looks like fun for the whole family!
Great review - perhaps I will save up for it!
Carrooka also well worth a look. Circular wooden board with 6 'pockets' around the circumference. The pucks are coloured like snooker or pool balls, depending which game you prefer. A more fluid and indeed more cerebral game than crokinole IMO.
Thanks for the suggestion! Googled it and looks great!
Yes, I looked at Crokinole and Carrom, but decided on Carrooka - it is definitely the best!!!
this is a great game wish it was more popular in my area. so glad i picked it up
It great! :) Glad you're enjoying it
my grandparents have this (were Canadian, its a classic) we would play until our fingers hurt
Awesome channel, videos and humor ... keep it up. Ice cool is also already in my collection. Nice! By the way, any chance you can put the link or source in the comments for this beautiful crocinole board of yours? Thx guys
Here you go - woodestic.eu/product-category/games/crokinole/ :))
I really DIDN'T know that you were a part of Brain Games! Wow! My daughter and I play Ice Cool.
Glad you both enjoy Ice Cool!
You are author of Ice Cool🤯😁 wow, super game😁 Greetings from Poland😁
I love you guys. Only thing is I think you were scoring incorrectly. I was taught at the end of the round you subtract the total scores of each player and the higher player gets the difference of those two scores.
Woodestic crokinole is the BEST :)
It is amazing!
Great game but it is difficult to find one in Europe and under 200euro
8:05 😂
I dont get why this is considered a board game
Y’all did a horrible job showing how awesome this game really is.
Thanks for the comment. I am sorry to hear that. Any tips on what we should have done different? /JG
