Crokinole: Flick Board Game

Crokinole is the classic wooden flicking game: pull back, let go, and slide your disc across a round board towards the 20-point hole in the middle. HOW IT PLAYS Each side has eight discs and you shoot in turns. The rings score 5, 10 and 15, the hole scores 20. While an opponent disc is on the board your shot must touch one, so every turn is a choice: knock them off, or hide behind the pegs. The higher round score gets the difference; first to 60 wins. SIX WAYS TO PLAY Classic; Quick, with four discs each and first to 30; Free shot, without the must-hit rule; Twenties only, where just the hole scores; and two boards that change the feel: slick Ice and slow Felt. Pick one on the home screen and it holds against the bot and online, with its own record. PLAY THE BOT A short lesson teaches the three rules one at a time, then the bot sits down across the board. Real physics: discs bounce off the pegs, knock each other out and roll into the hole. PLAY ONLINE Join a random table, or open one and send the code to a friend. The invitation link opens the table straight away. If someone runs out of time, the bot shoots for them so the game never stalls. 76 PUZZLES Clear the board in one shot: bank off a peg, take two at once, hit and stay. Nineteen chapters, three stars for each puzzle. NO ADS The whole game is free, with no adverts. Five board woods, five disc sets and four tables open as you earn puzzle stars, or all at once with one optional purchase that changes only how your table looks. Your opponent sees their own choice.

Six ways to play: Classic, Quick (four discs, to 30), Free shot (no must-hit rule), Twenties only, and slick Ice or slow Felt boards. Pick one on the home screen; it holds for the bot and online, with a record for each. The lesson now shows that it is a lesson, and a disc resting on a line says why it scored the lower zone.
