It is believed that the game of Crokinole was developed in Canada. The oldest known Crokinole board was discovered in Ontario and was believed to be made in 1876. However, some feel that Crokinole originated in the United States. The oldest known American board has "Crokinole...Apr. 20, 1880" inscribed below it. Regardless of its origin, Crokinole remains popular in Canada and the United States alike.
In French Canada, Crokinole is also known as Pichenotte. The original word, croquignole, is French for a small hard bisquit, which the discs in the game resemble. It also means flick, which is the motion used in the game for moving the discs. Players typically flick small discs across Crokinole boards to win points in the game.
