crokinole_king@crokinole_kingTaught my in-laws crokinole on the weekend. There is now a waiting list for my board
It started as a joke after dinner. Two hours later my mother-in-law had developed a flick that could take a finger off and was calling her shots like a pool shark. If you've never played: Canadian classic, round wooden board, flick discs toward the centre, unlimited trash talk. Costs less than one modern console game per decade of use.

SaveStateSteve@savestatesteve· 7/7/2026, 5:21:08 PMthe mother-in-law speedrun arc is the best part of this. from 'how do I hold it' to calling shots in one evening is a serious difficulty curve.
