... Ben, You don't happen to own either of these? Any chance they could make a trip in... say... April? I'm sure they might be too wieldy for a plane trip,...
... make a trip ... I actually do own both of these, and in fact own the other Felsberger games as well. Either of these would be very hard to take on a flight...
Ben, If you could bring these in April, that would indeed be excellent. I read your review of these games in Counter and am very eager to try them. They are...

I am looking for cheaper alternatives to MESPI powder as a crokinole powder. Crokinole.com says shuffleboard wax is used in tournaments, and the site sells...
I've had the same experience with the crokinole.com powder as Dave - it's basically just cornstarch. However, simply try this for a very cheap solution: before...
... The only caution I have with Pledge is that some have reported a buildup over time on the board that creates some uneven patches of differing play ...
I thought I post some pictures of our crokinole boards. My brother has been woodworking for the past 20 years, and a few months ago I suggested that he try to...
I have a game store in Atlanta and I've been trying to buy boards wholesale without much success so I guess I'll have to go into business making them. Anyone...
I won Boccerball off the prize table at Gulf Games and finally got it assembled this week. It was a huge hit are game night last night. It's quite fun and my...
We've had Boccerball for a while and it gets played at almost every gaming session as a filler, or often as an end-of-night single elimination tournament (one...

I have been to the world championships in Tavistock,Ontario and the players are very good but with a little practice you can become competitive enough.It is a...
I've just returned from Alan Moon's Gathering of Friends. It was 9 days of absolute great gaming with friends. My most played game was Crokinole. My notes...
Dave is a bit humble, don't you think? Not only did he send me packing (I demanded a rematch but we never got a chance to get it in), he also won the...
... Wow, a post to this group! But speaking of tournaments. Some of us northwesterners who aren't YET friends of Alan's have been thinking of having a similar...
... Richard Spoonts was an excellent partner - I couldn't have asked for better. Always quick to point out when I'm aiming at the wrong colored target :) The...
My personal opinion is to can the rotating partnership idea. I really would like to try it, but it's a logisitcal nightmare. I attempted to set it up for a...
