RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to reach 100 or more points. Layout the board and place the pegs into their holes near the center. Each player takes 12 disks of the same color. Players position themselves at opposite quadrants. The youngest player goes first, then turns alternate. On your turn, you must shoot 1 disk with your finger. All disks must be shot from the outermost black edge of your quadrant. This is called the shooting line. You may shoot from anywhere on the shooting line so long as at least half of your disk is within your quadrant and some part it touches the black shooting line.
When your opponent has no disc is on the board and it is your shot, this is called a “free shot” and you are allowed to shoot towards the center of the board without restriction. Otherwise, it is called a “Regular shot”. When you have a regular shot, you must hit at least one opponent disc by contacting it directly with your shooting disc or by indirectly hitting another disc into it. If you fail to hit an opponent’s disc, then the disc that you shot with, along with every friendly disc that that disc hit, if any, are removed from the board and placed in the outer recessed ring, called the “gutter”.
Whenever a disc makes it into the center hole, without being removed to the gutter, then that disc is removed from the board and set aside and will be worth 20 points at the end of the game.
Once each player has shot all 12 of their discs, then the round ends and points are scored. Discs score points based on the point value for whichever ring they are in. If a disc overlaps another ring, then it scores for the lesser value. Discs in the gutter are worth 0. Calculate the totals for both players and the player with the most points wins the round and receives points equal to the difference between the two totals. The loser of the round receives 0 points. Record the scores and play another round, alternating who shoots first.
The first player to reach 100 or more points wins. You can play with teams of two by having teammates on opposite quadrants, each shooting 6 discs, with turn order going clockwise.

Finally! Someone explains the rules of this game in a short, simple and fun way. Thank you.
Ah crokinole, a classic! Shut up & Sit Down covered this game, but with one rules variation (probably regional variants?):
Free Shots: During a free shot, you must get your disc into the 15-point circle or it is removed to the gutter.
My understanding is that that rule is to stop a fairly common cheese tactic. If you could position your piece wherever you like on a free throw, you can position them directly behind one of the pegs closest to you. In practice it's nigh impossible to hit a peg in such a position from the opposite side of the board, so you can just bank 10 points.
Thanks for making this! Was listening to Woolie on the Castle Super Beast podcast praise Crokinole and I wanted to understand the rules. This video wastes no time and summarizes everything well. Thanks again!
Could you do a how to play for Janggi (Korean Chess)?
Love your vids btw. ^w^
They just had the US Open in my hometown and I had never heard of it before. Thank you for sharing.
Pichenotte is similar but on a huge table instead. Played alot at my grandparents as a kid. Tough on the fingers
Sounds like you have some French-Canadian / Quebecois ancestry in you ;)
Wow very quick, precise, and thorough! Nice!
The only thing that wasn't clear to me is that the in-game "points" and the scored "points" are both called just "points".
As a result, I'm not sure what happens in this example:
- I play a round with a friend. They finish with 90 points; I finish with 50. They score the diff: 40 points.
- We start a second round. At one point during the round, they have 60 points, I'm at 70 points.
- At this point in time, they have a total of 40 (scored previously)+60 (current round)=100 points.
Does this mean they won immediately?
- If they did, then I think this video was right to call both types of points just "points" because then it's an apples+apples sum. But the video could be clearer about it, maybe with an example.
- If they didn't (we must wait till the end of the round to sum up and diff our in-game points to score points), then calling both of these just "points" is confusing to me.
“Once each player has shot all 12 of their discs, then the round ends and points are scored.” - The key factor is when the points are scored.
@@TripleSGames I see; thanks! But then it's confusing to also call the in-game points just "points", right? Apples and oranges, but both called "apples". If that's the official terminology of Crokinole then there's not much to do about it, but some extra clarification of this ambiguity would be helpful for newbies.
The reason why the points from each round are subtracted (45 vs 55 -> the 55 player gains 10 points) is to keep the math easy, but the real mechanical feature here is that the game ends when one player has a 100 point lead on the other. It's very slightly different, but only so
@@MrRyanroberson1 Thank you, that's a great explanation! :)
Great video. Short into the point. Thanks for putting this together.
This seems like a pretty good game!
The way i learned to play there are a couple differences.
1) you only use 8 pucks for singles.
2) if the board is open and your shot is such that none of the puck ends up in the center ring, it goes in the gutter.
Can u make a video about the Khmer chess, ouk chatrong, for ur next video
Came here to figure out how to say the name...thanks for the rules too!
After caculating the totals for both players, what if there is a tie in a round?
Neither player scores any points for that round.
fight each other with fists
@@WolfbloodJakeWilliams okay. I see why you must subtract both players' scores. Remember, the winner of the round with higher points is the minuend while the loser with lower points is the subtrahend. The difference is what the winner of each round scores points after the round ends. If there is a tie, neither player gets points. Therefore, subtract both tying players' points to get 0.
I made a mistake. The difference between players is the winner of the round, not quotient since we're talking about subtraction, not division.
Will there be a real life gunggi from HXH😕
You forgot a rule:
Once the round begins, your chair is not allowed to move. All shots must be taken with at least one buttcheck touching your chair.
Now I'm imagining a referee in competitive tournaments rigorously checking the participants' butt cheeks.
It's a fun game, but a good board is expensive
Why? It seems like a simple -ish design.

I found a way to play this game with nothing but disks and a snack table
Look for boards at value village! We just scored one for $10! We just had to buy the discs!
Got this exact board, which is fine, for 60 bucks. About the same price as a lot of other board games. Not like you need a 500 dollar board to play.
I played this for years out at my grandmother's but somehow never thought about how it was spelled.
Well Done!
No offense, I'm very excited to see content put out about Crokinole, but this video has some errors and strange characterizations of the game. Just to point out a few, you don't have to start with your disc 50% on the shooting line, you don't often use the full 12 discs at least not in modern competitive play, most boards don't actually have removable pegs (only the very cheapest or oldest versions of the game), and players don't use the traditional scoring up to 100 points as often. Many of the things that I take issue with here are not outright wrong, they are simply stated as fact without any mention that they are not universal. Some things are certainly wrong though. It's like if I described "Hockey" as a game played using roller-blades on a dead end street and plastic hockey sticks. It's not wrong, some people play hockey that way, it's just not as accurate as it could be.
The way I learned, you use all 12 pucks in doubles and 8 in singles.
Also, a rule we use is that if the board is open and your puck ends up with no part of it touching the center ring, then it goes in the gutter.
I also never heard of the 50% over the starting line thing.
Yoohoo, I love flicking games like that!
Question- we’ve always played that you must hit into the 15pt circle on opening play or if your opponent doesn’t have anything on the board. Is that correct? Or can it just go anywhere?
I have played with the same rule, if there are no opponent discs on the table, your disc must land in the 15 point circle or at least touch the line. If you are allowed to hide your discs, it is super hard for the opponent to get on the board and you can just farm 10 pointers
So if a disk lands on the outermost line, but it doesn't fall into the gutter, does it score for 5 or 0?
0 i think
If a disc lands on the outermost line, it goes into the gutter. Also, if a disc hits the wall around the board and comes back onto the board, it goes into the gutter.
Looks like fun
Fun fact,after playing this fir a weekend,your hair will automatically start growing into a mullet
And you'll start pronouncing "about" like "aboot" and ending all your sentences with "eh"
Perfect!
Nice
Why wasn’t this in that Nintendo board game collection from 2020?
I'm sure Nintendo would've loved to add some form of Crokinole, but 51 games is a lot as is...
Because this is more of a dexterity game, which is much harder to emulate on a console.

Remember: the most important rule of crokinole is to not mention the chin.
Hi
Xxl chess how to play
On your turn, warm up your industrial sized crane... En passant is not allowed. Because diesel isn't cheap
So it scores like cornhole. Interesting.
croaking hole, you say??
Looks fun, simple, but not $100+ of fun 💀
Actually, it's worth it. Just try to find a reasonably sturdy board on sale.
@@kenleongrmt And friends to play with
my mom want to buy this but its $390 but my Family has over 390 dollers 🤑🤑🤑
This game looks like crap to play honestly
It's actually a lot of fun. Esp with a group of friends and some beer!
Nice
