¿Question #4251?
kennyb: Just what is this weird obsession with crokinole anyway? I played it 30 years ago and thought it was lame then....or am i missing something?

draight: Yea, it's still lame. Some kid learned to play from his grandpa and got hyped.
Woelf: If it costs over $200 for a decent board it MUST be good! (I've never played it, but from what I know of it I doubt that I'd enjoy it more than PitchCar.)
the manatee: I'm with ya, kennyb. I've only played the version that's on a standard Carrom board, using the plastic rings that come with the board. So what part of the experience am I missing?
Spirit of 70: So it would seem. I've never played it, myself.
MisterCranky: [Witty remark about Bean's List]
punchykoos: Don't know, haven't tried, but it looks like fun

djlg: Nope. You're not missing something.
puffinge: I think it's fun but I am baffled by how obsessed some have become with it. Boston people and GOF people have much to do with that.

CDRodeffer: You're missing something.
