Crokicurl[1][2] is a Canadian winter sport invented by Liz Wreford and Leanne Muir of Public City Architecture in 2016 and first played in Winnipeg, Canada.[3][4][5][6] The game is a large scale hybrid of curling and the board game Crokinole.[7][8][9][10]
The related game of crokinole is a game in which the players take turn to flick small discs on a circular board, to score highest depending on where the disc lands on the board where the regions are marked with score.[11]
