Hello everyone, I am quite new to the game of crokinole, but am already quite taken by it. I am already considering signing up for the world championship...

My 5-hole Crokinole board (thanks, Carl!) finally got play this weekend, and the game is terrific! There are four holes in the 10 point area, and any disk...

Hi Tom - I would recommend checking out www.hilinski.net . Beautiful boards at a resonable price (about $150 inc. shipping), although admittedly that is...
Good morning. The best comment I could make is "that any board is better than no board". That being said there is an amazing appeal that goes along with owning...

I got a Sawdust Jim board, and I've played on some nicer boards. I would recommend his boards for a beginner. The differences are mostly cosmetic. Negative...

Well, One thing I'm sure of is that you are a bunch of very good people here in this group. I'm impressed by the response that I've gotten. I want to get a...

You want to know about the burlap board, huh? Well, it was one of those things that just didn't work out right. It sits under one of my benches, and it...
