Explore the History of Crokinole The first crokinole board was built by Eckhardt Wetlaufer in 1876 in Sebastopol, Ontario. Wetlaufer was a woodworker and wagon-maker and made the board as a birthday present for his son. The relic currently hangs in the Joseph Schneider Haus Museum in Kitchener, ON. It is unclear where Wetlaufer got the idea from the game, but it's likely that it is derived from the Asian game of carroms by way of British colonists. Carroms is also the ancestor, purportedly, of pocket pool, knips-brat, and pichenotte (associated with Quebec). The name "crokinole" is derived from the French 'croquignole' which means 'flick' or 'small biscuit'. Crokinole is a rapid and entertaining board game that was invented in 1876 by Eckhardt Reiner Elton Wettlaufer in Tavistock (Ontario, Canada). In the following decades the game occured in several versions and sizes until the actual dimensions and gameplay became standard in 1880. Nowadays the World Crokinole Championship (WCC) is held annually in Tavictock. Double-sided Board!
