The Baltic Bircher by Crokinole Canada - Large Traditional Crokinole Board Game Set (With Numbers)
The Baltic Bircher crokinole board is the style of board that many Canadians grew up playing on and making lots of great memories while doing so. It is large and accomodating for 2-4 players. The octagon shape is very traditional to Canada and the cherry rails on this board are aesthetically appealing.
This particular board was designed by a craftsman named Tom who produced many of the boards for Crokinole Canada. Tom was so busy making these boards that he had to ask Crokinole Canada to find a larger maker who would be able to handle the volume. From there, Crokinole Canada worked with Woodland Horizon to make further refinements such as the cherry rail, UV printed lines, and latex covered brass posts. Since then, the board has moved to yet another maker where the birch surface was replaced with a smoother and higher quality maple mdf surface. The base is still made of birch.
The Baltic Bircher meets all the needs for a family that doesn't need a tournament level board yet wants something large and beautiful that will last for generations to come.
Highlights:
- Stained Dark Burgundy Ditch - Cherry Side Rails - Maple Playing Surface - Birch Base - Checkers on Back - Optional Points on the Front - Very Smooth Surface

This board's wood playing surface sometimes is patched, meaning there is an oval patch in the wood. This is common with any kind of plywood and does not affect the gameplay at all. It affects the appearance only slightly and is only noticeable upon closer inspection. So if you are concerned about the appearance please add a note at checkout stating you'd like a board without patched wood. Thanks!

This Crokinole board is awesome, plus we love the carrying case for transporting and storing the board. We were very impressed with the quality of the craftsmanship and the timeliness of its arrival. We immediately played the first day it arrived and had so much fun. This is our new favorite game and will be brought to all future family functions!
We have tried playing with the lower end version of this board…but wow, there is no comparison to the Baltic Bircher! You guys knocked it out of the park with its solid construction and so well built…we've already had so many hours of fun! Thank-you for the great Crokinole board!
I'm really impressed with the quality of the Baltic Bircher — the craftsmanship and heft make this an heirloom to pass on. It's definitely several steps up from the mass-produced plywood board I learned on (think it came from Sears). The surface is smooth, and the bumpers are thick and give great playing action. Totally satisfying to play on.
I've had the board 3 days and played with my teenage daughter and nephews, and also took it to a game night for adults (glad I got the padded case, this hefty board takes up my entire trunk). In both cases we did 4-player games and it was the first time any of them played — the party got loud and fun! We have several new U.S. Crokinole addicts.
Hello Jeffrey!
Thank you so much for your kind review. I am glad this board has met your expectations and by the sounds of it you are all having a blast! This board is in its 3rd design round so with lots of refinement we were blessed to come up with something that really makes the game shine!
Ordering was easy online. Delivery was faster than I thought it would be and it arrived in great condition. I bought this for my son who grew up playing crokinole. It was time for him to have his own. He loves it. So does his wife who had never played before. It is a beautiful looking board. My son's first comment on opening it was "Oh, a fancy one". He has also mentioned that he likes the bumpers better than the ones on our older game. All in all, this was a great purchase.
Hello Marg,

Have a great day!

Thanks so much for your kind review! Glad you liked our service. Thank you for your business! Ted
Great looking board and it play’s awesome with soft rubber bumpers that make the game more challenging then with stiff bumpers it’s a great game and the price is reasonable as wel
Thank Clint! I too like the beauty of this board. The gold coloured pegs and the deep burgendy ditch along with a beautiful grain makes this board look really, really good! Thanks for your honest and helpful review. The latex covered bumpers do add a new dimension to the game. This is a perfect traditional style crokinole board! Have a great day Clint! Ted
