Michael has looked at Crokinole boards for many years now and I have never let him buy one because they are about $150-$250! That's just WAY too much $$!! But Mayday Games now mass produces them and sells them for $99-$129, depending on if they're on sale. We, however, came across a discounted one because it was returned by a customer. The description said it had small bumps on the board but that the board was still 100% playable. It was $60. So we gambled and bought it. Boy am I glad we did!! It is an awesome game!! It also makes a nice wall hanging, lol!
*It is for 2-4 players (but some boards aren't set up for 3 players).
*It can play in 5-10 minutes.
*It is a dexterity game where you flick pieces and try to get points with them like darts.
*If your opponent has a piece on the board, you must hit one of their pieces in order to keep your piece on the board.
*If your opponent doesn't have a piece on the board, then you can flick your piece anywhere, but the very middle circle counts as 20 points. The 2nd circle counts as 15, the next 10, and the last one 5. So when you're both done flicking your 12 pieces, you count how many points you have.
Simple. Fast. Fun.

I've been wanting to play this game for quite some time, but hesitated for the same reasons as you (and the fact that I'd have to store it somewhere in my apartment). Good find!
