- 19.5 in Deluxe Crokinole
-
The earliest known board was made by craftsman, Eckhardt Wettlaufer in 1876 in Canada. Several other home-made boards of southwestern Ontario origin, and dating from the 1870s have been discovered since.
Crokinole is often believed to be of Mennonite or Amish origins, but there is no evidence to support this.
The name "Crokinole" is believed to derive from the term Croquet-in-the-hole, because of the style of game play that can be likened to playing croquet on a table with a hole as the hoop

- Crokinole

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Crokinole is an action board game similar in various ways to pitchnut, carrom, marbles, and shove ha'penny, with elements of shuffleboard and curling reduced to table-top size. Players take turns shooting discs across the circular playing surface, trying to have their discs land in the higher-scoring regions of the board, while also attempting to knock away opposing discs. Board dimensions vary with a playing surface typically of polished wood or laminate approximately 27 inches (690 mm) in diameter. The arrangement is 3 concentric rings worth 5, 10, and 15 points as you move in from the outside. There is a shallow 20-point hole at the center. The inner 15-point ring is guarded with 8 small bumpers or posts. The outer ring of the board is divided into four quadrants. The outer edge of the board is raised a bit to keep errant shots from flying out, with a gutter between the playing surface and the edge to collect discarded pieces. Crokinole boards are typically octagonal or round in shape.
