Funny how Tom's board has a blemish on it. He tries valoriously to hide it with a disc until instinct kicks in at 2:21 - notices it, scratches at it, covers it back up, keeps moving discs, and gives up. Really, this is the best board Mayday Games can offer a popular video reviewer? No wonder their reputation sucks.
I can't fully blame Tom for being more lenient with games he's given free copies of, but any pool or Crok player knows that flaws like that can affect the game rather badly. Shame.
@eviltofutube Seconded! Carrom is great but it's so hard to find people to play it with. Tom would love it (if, that is, he doesn't already know about it).
If there's one flaw with the game it's the fact that you'll probably be introduced to it by someone who already has a board and is damn good at it. So while you bounce discs off of pegs, overshoot the board, and get a sore finger, you also get trounced by the board owner for your troubles.
This game will always remind me of my childhood. My grandmother had a home made crokinole board that my grandfather made in the 1940s. Great memories!
@mattzero123 Definitely is a blemish. Mayday was found to be shipping USED and DAMAGED products to people expecting NEW copies.

I love Tom's reviews, but I despise Crokinole!

Tom seems to really like games where you flick stuff.
