... Unfortunately, Crokinole boards don't tend to show up at too many local game shops. I can't think of anyplace in Ohio that would have a board. I had hoped...
Here's a question that came up last night, and I am embarrassed to say that I do not know the answer. Just how does one pronounce "crokinole?" Is it...

... Heh! For UG7, the UG staff was generally ineligible for prizes (though I've taken myself out of the prize table draw for several UG events now). The last...
Speaking of prize tables, I had an interesting (although perhaps impractical) idea on how to run a prize table. Everyone brings 1 game and a name is drawn from...

Okay, I am going to be making a purchase in the next month, or so, and it has come down to one of two items. First option is a Crokinole board. Option two is...
Hmmmmm. You're asking the Crokinole yahoo group if you should spend your money on a croke board or satellite radio? This is far from an impartial panel don't...

Coming from someone who has a Crokinole board but doesn't play it a lot, I'd be hard pressed to answer this one. I definitely wouldn't leave my board in the...

You might consider getting the very inexpensive board from amazon.com and seeing how it goes. Don't forget you can play great games with just two players too;...
My concern with this advise is that playing on a crappy board could turn someone off to the game. If my first introduction to ice cream was Mocha, I'd have...
