Crokinole: A video review

I just recently got a crokinole board. It's a one-of-a-kind board made by the Hilinski Brothers. It set me back a pretty penny, but I love the stupid thing. One of the best things to come out of Canada besides John Candy and the Barenaked Ladies. Enjoy the review and the amazing shot by Tim during the game.

There are two teams of partners sitting across from each other in a four player game. In a two player game the opponents would sit across from each other

Thanks for watching!

We hadn't originally planned on doing a review we just sort of had the camera up and going to shoot good shots. I decided a little of the way in to just go ahead and make a small review. It came out pretty good so we kept it. That's why the format is largely different.

And just to give credit where credit's due; it was Tim with the amazing shot. I wouldn't want TJ to feel good about himself needlessly

I love Crokinole. Also good fun are Carom and Kubbuteo

Why are there only 2 colors for 4 players?

Seems like it would be hard to keep track of.

Or are there only 2 teams?

the way i played was that once you start playing you cant move the board or your seat, just saying

Amazing shot by Tim at 6:05!

Sweet Board!! Great job explaining the rules .. except I have played the game for years and in various provinces and have never heard of the "Your disk must make it into the 15 when no opponent's disks are in play" rule. In fact when only playing with two players that was part of the strategy .. either shoot for the 20 and leave your disk exposed for an easy hit if you miss or attempt to use on of the pegs close to you to shield your disk and force your opponent to make a difficult shot. :)

@Rheostatik ..... hahaha Fuck, man, your comment cracked me up. Me and my buddies get drunk and stoned once or twice a year and have somewhat of a crokinole tournament with 4 -8 teams of 2. The game is fun as hell but the best part of the whole tournament is the infinite amount of trash talking that goes down. What a riot.

@hallpriest9 Never mind.

[hallpriest9]

Is "the amazing shot" to which you refer Tim's next-to-last, when he bounces of a black and into the 20?

[hallpriest9]

Black came out ahead 45, right? Deanna didn't need to remove her last shot.
