Crokinole Buying Guide: Choosing the Perfect Crokinole Board
Crokinole is a classic tabletop game, full of skill and strategy. The game originated in Canada and recently started to get more and more popular on this side of the Atlantic.
Choosing the right Crokinole board is key to a great playing experience. When buying a Crokinole board, you need to consider your budget, your skill level and whether you are looking to play competitively or not. Moreover, Crokinole boards often are used to enhance the look of the room, so if you are planning to proudly display it, make sure you select a board that compliments the décor of your home.
If your goal is to casually try out the game and enjoy a few entertaining rounds at home, this board offers a fantastic chance to do just that. However, if you're already familiar with the game and love it as much as we do, we would advise to explore other boards as the playing surface on this one isn't as smooth and you may soon find yourself looking to upgrade.
