Great review! I loved that you played it during the review. My brother-in-law and I played this at Origins Game Fair 2024. We loved it! I bought a bundle online (new boards at Origins were sold out and I didn't want one from their open-play area). Definitely expensive, but it will last a long time and get many plays.
A little suggestion - decorate/design something on back of Your boards. Make it individual, make it Your own etc. Make it someything like GMM blindfolds or just collage of Your top10 games ever.
just had recently discovered your channel looking for Hegemony reviews ( great review and awesome game btw) and you easily became my new fav boardgame channel! Patreon Support incoming. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic vid. Still the best reviews on RU-vid. I played this at my local convention and wanted one but couldn’t justify the price. But I will. Soon. Too soon
When scoring, you actually subtract the lower score from the higher. So for that first round, JT would have 5 and JG would have 0. An alternate, and I think better way to score, is after each round, if you have the most points, you score 2 points, and if you tie, you each score 1. Then whoever gets to a set number of points wins the match (usually anywhere from 7-11 points)
I love you guys. Only thing is I think you were scoring incorrectly. I was taught at the end of the round you subtract the total scores of each player and the higher player gets the difference of those two scores.
Carrooka also well worth a look. Circular wooden board with 6 'pockets' around the circumference. The pucks are coloured like snooker or pool balls, depending which game you prefer. A more fluid and indeed more cerebral game than crokinole IMO.
Awesome channel, videos and humor ... keep it up. Ice cool is also already in my collection. Nice! By the way, any chance you can put the link or source in the comments for this beautiful crocinole board of yours? Thx guys
