How to Play Crokinole in Two Minutes

Описание: How to play crokinole explained in two minutes. Full transcript down below. Let us know if you have any questions, and if you want to dive into the rules in more detail, see our extended explanation of the National Crokinole Association game rules:
========================================
SET UP: Sit across from your opponent. You each have eight buttons sitting on the table beside the board.

SHOOTING RULES: In order to shoot, it must start touching the shooting line somewhere in your quadrant and it must be a flicking motion from behind, never a finger on top pushing. Players alternate shots with each button being shot one time only. The round ends once all 16 buttons have been played.

OBJECTIVE: The player with the most points left in play at the end of the round will be the winner. This region (Outer ring) is worth five, 10 (middle ring), 15 (middle circle), and 20 (centre hole). A button that gets sunk in the 20 is immediately removed and placed here. It counts as 20 at the end of the round, but we want to open this up for more 20s to be sunk. A button touching a line is worth the lower point value. So touching this outermost line means it's worth zero, you remove it to the ditch so it doesn't interfere with the rest of the round.

VALID SHOT RULE ONE: If your opponent has a button anywhere on the board, you must make
contact. You will want to knock it all the way into the ditch, making it worth zero. But all you have to do is make contact. If you make contact, your button stays. If you miss, it's an invalid shot and goes in the ditch. You are allowed to combo through your own. Perfectly legal. But if you hit your own and don't hit your opponent, both oF yours are removed.

VALID SHOT RULE TWO: If there is no opponent on the board, then a different valid shot rule kicks in. You must end up touching this circle or within it. If you are short or long, it goes in the ditch. Again, you are allowed to combo through your own, but a button involved in your shot must end up touching or within this circle. Otherwise, invalid goes in the ditch.

WHO SHOOTS FIRST: You're probably wondering who goes first. That's your choice. Paper, rock, scissors works.

SCORING (UP NEXT): Now, go play your first round and then watch the scoring video. It will make way more sense at the end of your first round. Happy flicking.
