Fingerboard! (It's not what you think!)

I got recruited to play Fingerboard for this review. It was so much fun.

I think it particularity shines with team play. Unlike Crokinole, when you play teams, you aren't always trying to make that sweet shot on your own every time. Instead you can set shots up for each other, or block an opponent's shot, or knock an opponent's coin out of a sweet position. I feel like there is a lot more going on than just trying to shoot coins into the pockets.

Plus, making rebound shots off those bumpers is sweet.

It appears to be commonly available in South African sporting goods stores.

It is also called Vignerbakatel, Vingerboard and Flick Board.

Also, I think, the rubber bumpers make it different. At least I have never seen a Carrom board with rubber bumpers. Because of the fixed location for the striker, you have to learn how to used those bumpers.
