    Crokinole is a dexterity traditional game.
    Crokinole is played on a circular wooden board, with wooden circular disks as playing pieces.
    Players take turns shooting disks across the circular wooden board by flicking the disks with their fingers. Players try to land their disks in scoring regions on the board, with the highest scoring area the recessed hole in the very center of the board. Each round, each player/side alternately shoots a set number of disks (usually 12 or 8), shooting one disk each turn.
    As a traditional game, there are often many variations played, but the following method is based on the National Crokinole Association's rules which also govern the World Crokinole Championship.
    Players must position their disk on the start of each of their turns in their quadrant in front of them, touching the outer scoring ring boundary.
    If there are no opponent's disks on the board, they must aim for the center of the board.
    If there is an opponent's disk on the board, they must aim and hit an opponent's piece first, either directly, or by a carrom shot.
    The center recessed hole is worth 20 points, and disks are removed and scored at the end of the round if they land in the center hole.
    Disks that are outside the outer scoring ring at the end of each shot, or are touching the outer scoring ring at the end of each shot, are removed from play for the round.
    Scoring is by cancellation scoring (e.g. Player/Side One scores 250, and Player/Side Two scores 225, Player/Side One scores 25.)
    It is usually played as a two-player game or as a four-player game with partners.
    Play is to a set score, usually the first player/side to 100.
    Alternately, play is set at "Match Scoring" where the winner of each round scores 2 points, and if a tie, each player scores 1 point. A "game" is usually played to four rounds, with the winner of each "game" being the one with the most points. The numbers of "games" in a match is set by the tournament.
    The World Crokinole Championship uses "Match Scoring."

    I was encouraged to buy a crokinole board after seeing some of your previous videos on the game. Got it last Thursday and have been playing everyday! Jeremy has the best instructional videos on the game out there so I’ve been watching through all of his stuff - love seeing him here on Quackalope as well. Thanks for the great video and for introducing me to the greatest game on earth 🥳

    Simple to learn and tough to master is the perfect description. However, compared to other games that can be described this way (Go comes to mind), you can still have a lot of fun as a complete beginner. I brought my board to a Thanksgiving party tonight and it was a hit even though nobody at the party had even heard of the game. We played for hours with much of the time spent with me just watching the others pairing off against each other. I got them started, and the games just kept going. I'd agree it's (at least one of) the best games on Earth.

  • @paulgiddy57
    @paulgiddy57 Рік тому +2

    One thing I'd like to have clarified. The inner circle (15-point?) line appears to have two different functions when a button is touching that line. It counts as being "in" for the purposes of "shoot for the middle", but it counts as "out" for the purposes of scoring at the end of the round, and only scores 10 points. Is this correct?

    Looking at the Mayday board I just got, it really seems like they did the bare minimum for varnish. I can still feel the wood grain and they don't slide that smoothly, even when the buttons and board are waxed. I guess it really makes a big difference

    • @11PONCHO11
      @11PONCHO11 Рік тому

      I think I’m in the same situation. I bought the same wax as Jeremy mentions on his channel. I know my mayday board is a jumping off point to a more expensive board, but I just wish the surface would become buttery smooth. I won’t do it, but I wonder why just a basic furniture polish wouldn’t do the trick.

      I have the Mayday board as well, very solid board for the price. Makes me wish I just got a Tracey board to begin with. After I used pure carnauba wax for several coats, I felt that it sort of filled in the "cracks". However I am not sure that they will ever go away for a buttery smooth board unfortunately.

    @aaronarnold6444 Рік тому

    Love this!! Was Crokinole present at GenCon? I do have a clarifying question: scenario: no opponent's button on the board, i have one button in the middle. i shoot my current button towards the middle, it goes through and out of the middle and doesnt touch my other button in the middle: does my current button (which is sitting outside the middle) come off? I think we've been playing this wrong. we've said so long as you have a button in the middle (usually the older button, not the current button), you're safe. sounds like we may be playing it wrong but wanted to clarify.
