How to play Crokinole (from crokinole.com):
-
To start the game, one player will take two discs (one of each colour) in his hands,
shake them, leaving one disc in each hand,
and then hold closed fists out to a member of the opposing team.
That player will choose one of the hands.
The colour in that hand will indicate which team begins the play.
-
Play proceeds in a clockwise fashion.
The player to the left of the previous shooter always plays next.
-
Neither the board, nor the seats of the players may be moved during the game.
-
All players must keep their fingers, hands, and discs off the board unless it is their turn to shoot.
-
To shoot, place the disc on the board with any portion of it touching the “starting line.”
Each player will shoot discs only from within his particular quadrant of the board.
A disc placed on a “quadrant line” must not be more than half way over that line.
-
The first player will try to shoot his disc into the centre “20" hole.
If it successfully lands completely within the hole the disc is removed
and set aside to count as 20 points at the end of the round.
If it does not land in the “20" hole, and yet is still on the playing surface,
the next player must shoot at that opposing disc in an effort to knock it into the “ditch.”
If she misses or does not in any way touch that opposing disc,
her disc must come off the playing surface and be put in the ditch.
Caroms - bouncing off a post or other disc - or combination shots are allowed.
In a caroms shot, if the opponents disc is not touched,
both the played disc and any of the shooter’s same colour discs that have been moved,
will be place in the ditch.
A shot that goes off the playing surface and bounces back on is considered out of play.
It is removed to the ditch.
Any other discs it may have touched will remain where they are.
-
A disc that touches the “shooting line” (after it is played, or has been hit)
does not count and will be removed to the “ditch.”
-
When that particular round is finished (all discs having been played),
the person sitting to the left of the player who started the previous round will begin the new round,
and so on with each round.
