What is Crokinole?

What is Crokinole, you ask?  I'm glad you asked!  It's a game played on a circular board a bit more than two feet in diameter.  Rings divide the board evenly into three concentric circles.  The rim of the innermost circle has eight irritating pegs.  There is a small hole in the center of the board.  The object of the game is to propel disks a bit smaller than the hole towards, and hopefully into, the hole.  However, if an opponent's disk is on the board, you have to hit their disk.  For more information, look it up on YouTube.  Especially check out Jeremy Tracey's set of Crokinole skills videos, and the Crokinole Centre (note the Canadian spelling) channel, featuring videos of the best players in the world meeting in tournaments.
