Crokinole is amazing, and klask is a lot of fun too. Have them both. Almost bought a carrooka board but figured had enough with the other two.

@sneakysimian 2 года назад

Good to see Klask get some well-deserved attention! There is a 4-player (circular) version however I'd still stick to the standard 2-player version with more than two players - matches are over quickly, it's fun for spectators (not a normal thing for typical 2-player games!) and a 'winner stays on' flow works well.

@vexienroe 2 года назад

Klask is a great game I ran a tournament with my family had 16 players double elimination and they had never played before, not only did I not win, I got 6'1'd and 6'2 (lower bracket was best of 3) def a game you can pick up and play competitively with just basic understanding of air hockey.

I can confirm that Klask is really fun and good for a laugh. We've gotten so many hours out of ours we've worn grooves in the board.

27:44 As an Indian with a carrom board set up downstairs right now (my mother and aunt played in tournaments when they were young)... I'm not at all surprised that the lack of toxic chemicals is mentioned as a selling point. It is a real problem with the stuff. I've known people who got sick from inhaling too much carrom powder. That said, it's harmless if used in small quantities. Just do _not_ let it get anywhere near your eyes.

I use Shuffleboard powder for Crokinole, & Carrom, it's a non toxic mix of silicone beads with dry cornmeal. Love Klask too but the boards wear out and get friction patches (on my second), waxing helps but not perfect. Crokinole is the one that gets played most.

@VictorDiGiovanni 2 года назад

Rod Hockey was actually the grandson of the creator of the sport, Abraham Hockey.

@primusinterpares5767 2 года назад

It was actually invented by Rodney Hockey, hence the name

@VictorDiGiovanni 2 года назад

@@primusinterpares5767 You are correct that Rodney created the home version we know today, but it was his grandfather Abraham who created the actual sport that was later illegally co-opted by the NHL. Maybe not "illegally", since it was before we have the current laws for copyright infringement. But the original sport was created by Abraham Hockey in Blind River, Ontario as a way for his many children (more than a dozen) to stay active during the cold winters. A French-Canadian businessman traveling through Blind River had a flat tire in front of the Hockey's home, and while he waited for a couple of the Hockey boys to change his tire, he saw this wild game being played on the frozen pond in the Hockey back yard. He asked a whole bunch of questions about the game they were playing and Abraham was happy to oblige. Three years later the first "official" game of hockey was played in Montreal. Abraham tried to prevent the NHL from using his idea, but was ignored. He tried to start his own league in Ontario, but that went nowhere. Ultimately, the only money the family made on the game they created was from rod hockey. The family had a little bit of success, but Rodney panicked, and sold the patent to the game to Munro in 1964 for only $50,000. After that, the game exploded into what it is today and Rodney died basically penniless.

Air Hockey is one of the many things that are solely the domain of the arcades. They are too big for the normal house or too small to feel like Air Hockey.

@z-beeblebrox 2 года назад

well...arcades and tech startups

@eswift8318 2 года назад

And the arcades these days often have crappy small tables with plastic surfaces. There's an arcade called Funspot in New Hampshire, US. They have the same three huge air hockey tables with a metal surface that I used to play on as a teenager...in the 80s. We make an annual pilgrimage to the tables where I remained undefeated for decades...until my own son beat me. I was never more proud of him or more angry at him.

@inezkestens5561 2 года назад

I saw the title and I went KLASSSSK !!! :D When I was young I loved air hockey I could do it for hours! ... But that was expensive, and even those tables in arcades weren't always that good. So Klask really got my attention, but since then i have a slight disability at my dominant hand. Nothing major but flicking in crockinole isn't easy for me. With Klask I have none of those problems! I can be pretty damm good at it, and even my father who has some issues with his shoulder and neck can play it easily because you rest elbow on the table. It may be something small but this is the only dexterity game that works for both of us, and it's just so much fun to play. So definitly don't let this scare you off, even if all other dexterity game aren't for you because of trembles or motoric issues you'll probably be able to play klask :)

I don't know how bad recent prices are because of wood, or if the UK is much different, but in the US you can get a good Crokinole board for about the same price as Carooka. Or if you know a woodworker, you can show up with a sheet of good plywood, beer, and a picture.

@cobhallagames6997 2 года назад

When I was small, we got an air hockey table for my sister and I to play with. It was a cheap one from Sam's and it lived in our game room. After it turned out my sister didn't want to play it ever. It quickly became a table for my legos, with a cardboard protector of course.

Oh buddy, let me tell you about those Klask 2.0 biscuits with the rounded corners. They are so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking them up. Can't move the biscuits alone with the striker either, against the rules sadly. They hate fun over there. I think there's a beauty to the free wheeling move of abandoning your pawn to go grab a biscuit with the magnet and fling it.

If you're an ice hockey fan, you have to try the board game Trick Shot that was on Kickstarter a while back. It's really hard to get right now but they have to do a reprint at some point. I never saw a bad review and everyone that I have introduced it to has loved it.

Slightly bummed that you didn't explain how to play Carrooka at all. I'm 30 from the US and have never heard of the two games it is based on (which is apparently surprising based on the way you said Snooker as if it is known by everyone).

@DiningTablePrintPlay 2 года назад

Snooker is basically just the English version of pool/billiards. That is to say: pool, if your pool table were to be the size of an aircraft carrier, the holes around three millimetres larger than the balls, the rules full of weird esoteric touches, and it being impossible to play if you weren't in possession of a dinner-jacketed butler with white gloves and a little cloth to polish and replace the upper-class balls in their pre-ordained spots if they're potted before all the pleb balls have gone.

@MrDirtydaves Год назад

ICECOOL wouldn't meet your criterias for this video, but it's a flicking dexterity game with penguins "skating" within their "ice school" and playing tag. Anyone can enjoy it but you can definitely get a lot better at it with practice. It's better at more than 2 players however, unlike the other games displayed here.

@nerdfatha 2 года назад

Great video! I wish I still had al the dexterity games from my youth. I had a Ninja Turtles Rod Hockey that was a blast, but the puck would get stuck in the corners and become unreachable. It was also really easy to take the figures off their pegs to store it. Sadly, after a while this meant that a hard spin may send Donatello careening at the goal instead of the puck. I also had a Carrom board hat claimed to be 25 games in one or something, but didn't have great instructions for any of them. I didn't even know it was a carrom board until much later in life. Still, lots of fun flicking disks was had! I will agree that Klask is tremendous fun. I only played my nephew's copy, but it was immediately enjoyable.

There are definitely safer powders out there. I thought there were some that were purely plant based, but couldn't find any with a quick search. I think there was an all natural MESPI powder for Crokinole. I don't know, I'm still on my original bottle of MESPI powder from like ten years ago. It's basically ground glass. Could be irritating in the eyes and lungs if you got a lot of it. But theoretically won't cause long term harm.

So now I have a Stiga... and wow.... what a fun game. I've always fancied a Foosball table but rod hockey is just that bit more interesting, and on a a smaller table to boot (though it's by no means a 'small' object..... still working on a storage solution). Really fantastic addition to the collection that I'd never even heard of a couple of weeks ago. Oh, and I have a Carrooka on order. Obviously 🤣 ....at least that one can live on the wall!
