History of Crokinole The first crokinole board was built by Eckhardt Wetlaufer in 1876 in Sebastopol, Ontario. Wetlaufer was a woodworker and wagon-maker and made the board as a birthday gift for his son. The relic currently hangs in the Joseph Schneider Haus Museum in Kitchener, ON. It is unclear where Wetlaufer got the idea from the game, but it's likely that it is derived from the Asian game of carroms by way of British colonists. Carroms is also the ancestor, purportedly, of the pocket pool, knips-brat, and pichenotte (associated with Quebec). The name "crokinole" is derived from the French 'croquignole' which means 'flick' or 'small biscuit'. Tradeopia Deluxe Tournament Size Crokinole How to play Crokinole?
