Crokinole was introduced at the World Boardgaming Championships at Seven Springs, Pennsylvania in 2022. This was the first unofficial crokinole tournament. There were 8 round robin tournaments where the top two scoring players from each group were invited back to participate in a final single elimination tournament. Congratulations to Steven Alfierie and Henry Allen participating in this final match-up.

    Great players! I'd like to see them do this on my grandma's vintage board. The crooked pins and questionable center hole certainly make for an interesting game, especially because we play by her house rules. The one turn opportunity to remove a disc from the center hole before it counts for 20 adds a level of excitement of never knowing where you will be smacked in the face by a full power ricochet

    Such a great game. I’m so glad you guys got this tournament going at wbc.

    I watched 1 video on carroms because I remembered playing it as a kid and suddenly all of these obscure (to me at least) games keep popping up on my feed and tbh.....its kinda awesome.

    Good players. Steven was clearly the better player the entire time. That, or Henry was having an off day. Excited to get my board. It is only a Mayday board, but a good quality entry level board is still better than no board at all. Speaking of boards… Do they have to be made of wood for official play? Because I had the thought that there are materials that can be cast that may provide an equivalent experience. Like resin, which can be made into so many colors. Or go for a weird experience with silicon.

    Who made the board? Looks gorgeous and seems butter smooth

    Can someone explain to me why the shot at 0:28 was swept off the board? Shouldn't it stay where it landed because there were no white pieces in play?
  • @Zsasz2
    What is the yellow powder they rub the discs in?
  • @silviaocamposor
    Why do they touch the table with both arms? The rules say this is forbidden

    I've never seen this game before in my life. Might have been less confusing if their uniforms weren't exactly the opposite color scheme as their pieces. Are they making points for each other? Do you win through the power of friendship?

    so its kinda like darts but withs discs and board on the table. maybe. sorta. i think.

    Me: ah nice, so the game is about putting all the pucks in the hole, simple enough... Score comes on screen: 70 to 55 Me: O_o

    Saying to myself after first 20 seconds: who are these amateurs? 😀
