Note this is an IN STOCK, IMPERFECT board + carrying case. The MSRP of this brand new when in stock will be $225 for the board + $55 for the carrying case = $280. You are getting this very slightly imperfect board for a STEAL, AND it is IN STOCK and ready to ship!
Please note that the original kickstarter backer for this board opted to have a replacement board shipped to them so we are going to be sending this board directly from the customer to you, not from our warehouse. This board was described by the customer as:
"The holes for the pegs are misaligned ever so slightly in relation to the screen printed board markings. Other than this, the board is in great shape."
This one is admittedly in GREAT shape, just a slight misalignment of the pege. Priced a little below what we think it is worth to get it to someone's hands quickly.
Most of the problems with our returned boards can be easily addressed by following the guidelines of our Care/Repair guide HERE.
And a few important points about all our ELITE boards:
Please note that all of our ELITE boards for 2024 were produced with "antique" looking screws that are supposed to look distressed/weathered. You can purchase brand new brass screws if you prefer that look HERE.
Question: Are the acrylic 20s holders going to fit snuggly on my board?
The acrylic 20s holders are intentionally a little loose so that they don't scratch the rim of your board. They wiggle a bit but if you put a small piece of microfiber or other cloth or even a papertowel/napkin in the gap then it fills it nicely AND acts as a buffer so the very hard acrylic doesn't scratch your board all up every time you use it. The 20s holder for our standard boards are even larger and we custom sized the 20s holders to this exact size by design.
We ran our most successful Kickstarter EVER in mid-2024 for Crokinole but the project exploded and we won't be shipping any PREORDER boards until after the Kickstarter is fulfilled. We will fulfill the Kickstarter in October/November 2024 meaning preorders from our website will likely be shipping in December 2024.
Please note that all of our boards are made one-by-one at the factory and each board will be different. They require some care and maintenance for optimal play, and there are some things you should consider before buying a board, please check out our care/handling instructions as well as some information to help manage your expectations about our boards HERE.
We only have a very limited number of these left from our 2024 Kickstarter that raised over $748,000! Check it out HERE. Sorry we can only ship to the lower 48 US States and only via UPS Ground as these are HUGE and too big for the Post Office to handle!
Boards Specs:
The boards consist of a 26" diameter playing surface + 2 inch ditch + 1/4 inch rim = 30.50 inches in total diameter and 3 inches thick. The game will come double boxed in a box with dimensions of 34.5 X 34.5 X 4.5 Inches and weights in at a massive 20 pounds (7.9 KG). Yes these are HUGE! Our boards meet the The World Crokinole Championship™ specifications which are:
- 26" diameter playing surface (66cm)
- distance from 'dead' center of the '20' hole to the pin/post circle is 4" (102mm)
- distance from pin/post circle to 10/5 circle is 4" (102mm)
- distance from 10/5 circle to 5/start circle is 4" (102mm)
- distance from 5/start circle to the edge of the playing surface is 1" (25.5mm)
These equidistant factors contribute to the 'science,' design, and original intent of the game. "20" hole diameter is generally 1-3/8" (35mm) with a depth of ¼" (6mm) width of dividing circle lines is recommended as 1/16" (1.5mm) but no more than1/8" (3mm) width of ditch/gutter (from side rail/rim to edge of playing surface) is a minimum 2" (51mm).
This standard is neither new nor something defined solely for the WCC event. Rather, this is the paradigm viewed from dimensions established more than 120 years ago.
