From wikipedia:

"Crokinole is often believed to be of Mennonite or Amish origins, but there is no factual data to support such a claim. The reason for this misconception may be due to its popularity in Mennonite and Amish groups. The game was viewed as a rather innocuous pastime – unlike the perception that diversions such as card playing or dancing were considered "works of the Devil" as held by many 19th-century Protestant groups."

"Innocuous" is just about the best description for it.

Addendum:

"In 2006, a documentary film called Crokinole was released. The world premiere occurred at the Princess Cinema in Waterloo, Ontario, in early 2006. The movie follows some of the competitors of the 2004 World Crokinole Championship as they prepare for the event."

Jangbones, you got your work cut out for ya, buddy.

Muscle Memory: The Game

Holy shit, my parents had one of these.

I don't think they even knew what it was. As a kid I had fun hitting the little puck rings as hard as possible and sending them across the room.

Eventually I figured out how to sling them at the posts just right so that they hooked on ala ring toss.

My 8 year old self's version of the game was more fun than this looks.

I have one of those boards in my basement awaiting an eventual refinishing. I think every cottage in Ontario is required to have one of those by law.
