Although I've never played (or seen) a game of crokinole, it sounds intriguing and I'm interested in trying it. Can someone recommend a board? I'd like to get...

Greetings to all. Like so many who've come before, I am here due to exposure to Croke at BGG. I do not yet own a board, and have in fact never played, but ...
... I own a Sawdust Jim board. I think that it's a good board, but not quite up to the same standard as the Grey Owl/Eagle board. The finish is not quite as...
I played on a Sawdust Jim board and while it looked very nice, the surface seemed uneven. I don't know what your financial means are, but I'd recommend...
... It's a GREAT game! There are lots of boards represented on this list alone... some of our group members even make them from time to time! The two most...
I just wanted to let the group know that I have taken delivery of one of Stan and Carl's boards ("Derby", if you've seen their photo album), and I am very...
I'm under the impression that many here play with the rule that a shot for 20 must result in a disc touching or inside the 15 circle. Can someone clarify how...
... This is how I play. Note that the disc you shoot must end up touching the 15 circle or line-- it can't just knock some other disc in-- and if it fails,...
... If you have a shot with no opponent disks on the board, I prefer to play that you don't need to do anything in particular. No need to hit the 15 circle,...

Just a reaction to my first exposure of the game, given my receipt of a board 24 hours ago: This is like crack on ice: I think we've played around 50 games in...

If the "center ring on a free shot" rule is not used, then the first player would bury the shot in a hard to reach spot so that he could sink 20s until his ...
