The classic flicking table game. Tournament Size!
Originating from Canada in the late 1800s, players flick discs to score the most points!
It's a fantastic game whether played seriously or just for fun. Points are scored by flicking disks as near to the central hole as possible. The added twist that makes Crokinole so engrossing is that your disk must move the disk last flicked by your opponent.
Why let the Canandians have all the fun?

How to Play Crokinole
The objective of the game is to have the most points at the end of the game with those discs closer to the centre getting more points. This is shown in the image below. During the game if a disc lands in the centre hole it is removed and counted as 20 at the end. If a disc is on a line then it receives the lesser value of the 2 zones.
For 2 player games, each player has 8 discs. If there are 4 or more players then the game is played as 2 teams with 12 discs per team, with each team split into 2 groups facing each other across the board.
The game is played by each player/team having alternating turns until all the discs have been used. A player shoots their disc from the line in their quadrant. When a player shoots 2 different rules are used depending on whether there are any opponent discs on the board.
- No opponent discs on the board – The player must shoot/flick their disc attempting such that at least one of their discs involved in the play remain in the 15/20 point zones, otherwise those discs involved in the play are removed from the board. A disc is a part of the play if it moves as a result of the play.
- Opponent has discs on the board – The player shoots/flicks their disc attempting to hit/touch any of the opponent's discs. If none are touched then the shooter's disc is removed.
When a disc is touching the outer-most line it is regarded as out of bounds and moved off the board.
At the end of the round, tally the points and the team with more points receives their points less the opponents points. The first team to 100 points wins the game.
